Britney Jenkins, LCSW

Britney Jenkins is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides compassionate, evidence-based psychotherapy to children, adolescents, adults, older adults, and families. She specializes in treating depression, anxiety, grief and loss, trauma, ADHD, behavioral challenges, relationship difficulties, and emotional distress associated with significant life transitions. Britney is committed to creating a safe, supportive, and affirming therapeutic environment where individuals from all backgrounds, including LGBTQIA+ clients, feel heard, understood, and empowered.

With extensive experience in mental health and child welfare, Britney understands that emotional challenges can arise at any stage of life. Whether someone is struggling with overwhelming anxiety, navigating depression, grieving a significant loss, experiencing relationship difficulties, or adjusting to unexpected life changes, she believes therapy should provide a space for healing, self-discovery, and meaningful personal growth.

Britney has a particular interest in supporting older adults as they navigate the unique emotional and psychological experiences associated with aging. Her work includes helping individuals manage depression, anxiety, grief, loneliness, changing family relationships, health-related stressors, concerns surrounding independence, and questions of identity, purpose, and mortality. She recognizes the importance of honoring each individual’s life experiences while helping them develop new perspectives, strengthen emotional resilience, and find meaning and fulfillment throughout every stage of life.

Her clinical approach is collaborative, individualized, and grounded in evidence-based practices. Britney primarily utilizes Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), incorporating DBT-informed skills, supportive psychotherapy, problem-solving strategies, and strengths-based interventions to meet each client’s unique needs. She has also completed specialized training in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT). Her work focuses on helping clients understand the connection between thoughts, emotions, and behaviors while developing healthier coping strategies, improving emotional regulation, strengthening relationships, and building confidence in their ability to navigate life’s challenges.

In addition to her work with adults and older adults, Britney has extensive experience supporting children, adolescents, and families experiencing behavioral and emotional challenges, trauma, family conflict, and complex mental health needs. She is especially passionate about supporting parents of children on the autism spectrum, helping families navigate challenging dynamics, and empowering individuals to develop a stronger sense of self-worth, emotional stability, and personal independence.

Britney believes that effective therapy extends beyond symptom reduction. It is about helping individuals feel understood, recognize their strengths, develop healthier relationships with themselves and others, and rediscover a sense of hope and direction. She approaches each therapeutic relationship with empathy, authenticity, and respect, recognizing that every person’s experiences, challenges, and goals are unique.

“I believe every individual deserves to feel heard, valued, and understood. Life can bring unexpected challenges, profound losses, and moments when we question our strength or direction. Regardless of age or circumstance, I believe we all have the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change. My role is to provide a compassionate space where you can explore your experiences, discover your strengths, and move forward with greater confidence, resilience, and hope.”

Britney earned both her Bachelor’s and Master’s degrees in Social Work from the University of South Florida. Her professional background includes extensive experience in child welfare, trauma recovery, community-based mental health, clinical supervision, and individual psychotherapy in private practice. Her diverse clinical background provides a strong foundation for supporting individuals and families across the lifespan as they navigate emotional challenges, strengthen relationships, and work toward improved mental health and overall well-being.
