Jennifer Hamilton, LCSW

Jennifer Hamilton is a licensed clinical social worker who brings 27 years of experience to her practice in Kentucky. She focuses on stress and anxiety along with trauma, sleeping difficulties, bipolar disorder, and depression. She treats people with respect and listens without judgment to understand what matters to them.

Her approach is collaborative and tailored. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to teach skills for managing difficult feelings and improving daily functioning. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) and mindfulness-based practices when trauma or painful memories are central concerns.

Jennifer helps people set small, achievable goals. She talks through coping strategies for sleep, mood swings, and stress. She supports people working through guilt, shame, codependency, and the strain of caregiving. She also has experience with veterans and people living with personality and mood disorders.

She welcomes including faith in care when clients want that element included. Sessions are shaped by each person’s values and goals, so therapy looks different for everyone. The tone in sessions aims to be curious and nonjudgmental while keeping practical steps in view.

To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule based on therapist availability. The therapist uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and cost can vary by location and scheduling factors.

Therapeutic approaches you can use online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter. It focuses on accepting difficult thoughts and moving toward a life that fits personal goals, which can help with ongoing anxiety and stress.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches specific skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication. These skills can be useful when mood swings, intense emotions, or relationship strains make daily life harder.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is an approach used for processing painful memories and trauma. It aims to reduce the intensity of traumatic memories so they interrupt daily life less often.

Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with the client to choose methods that match needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process may combine ACT, DBT, EMDR, and mindfulness techniques depending on what is most helpful.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online care can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more convenient. Licensed professionals can adapt these approaches to remote sessions to focus on symptom management, skills practice, and processing memories without changing the goals of care.
