About Jendaya
Jendaya Clark is a licensed clinical professional counselor with seven years of experience helping people through stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, and depression. She uses a client-centered approach that holds the person’s experience at the center of care. Jendaya talks with people about practical steps they can take and the strengths they already have.
She has worked in community mental health and led both individual and group sessions. That background means she is comfortable supporting people navigating life transitions like graduation, marriage, caring for aging parents, quarantine changes, and illness or cancer. She also helps with career questions, compassion fatigue, and the specific pressures young adults and women face.
Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside client-centered principles. She favors straightforward conversation, clear goals, and skills people can use between sessions. Sessions focus on what matters to the person and steps they can try right away.
Jendaya pays attention to multicultural concerns, forgiveness work, self-love, social anxiety, and non-monogamous relationship topics when these come up in sessions. She encourages people to notice their values, try small behavior changes, and practice self-compassion.
Sessions are offered in English and she meets with international clients as well. To start, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule based on therapist availability.
How client-centered work and online therapy fit together
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s own goals and perspective, creating space for them to lead sessions while the therapist listens and reflects. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people connect to what matters to them and practice small actions that match their values, which can reduce stuckness. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings and actions so people can try concrete experiments and see what changes.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to identify which methods feel most useful, and they will adjust plans based on needs, goals and preferences rather than insisting on a single method.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general online work can make it easier to fit appointments around work, school and caregiving, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-in sessions when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the same daily settings where challenges arise, then bring observations back to sessions for problem solving and gentle adjustments.
