About Jaynie

Jaynie Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and struggles with self-esteem. She meets clients with calm, direct care and aims to make therapy feel practical and understandable for everyday life. Jaynie works in Utah and offers services in English.

Jaynie brings four years of clinical experience as an LCSW and a longer history in social work settings. She has worked in juvenile justice, child welfare, adoption services, and criminal justice contexts. That background informs how she sees trauma, loss, and complex life challenges.

In sessions she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address trauma, panic, postpartum depression, and related concerns. She draws on approaches that focus on building coping skills, processing difficult memories, and improving self-worth. Her work also attends to issues like body image, abandonment, and guilt or shame.

Jaynie often coordinates with other professionals and has experience supporting people affected by violent crime, veteran and first responder issues, and end-of-life concerns. She favors a strengths-based, trauma-informed stance that looks for practical steps a person can try between sessions.

Outside of work she spends time with her daughter and dogs, gardens, travels, and follows sporting events. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth, and she encourages people to take small, manageable steps toward feeling better.

Evidence-based techniques and how they work online

Jaynie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical coping and processing. One common approach she uses helps people learn specific skills to manage anxiety and panic, such as grounding, breathing strategies, and behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance. These techniques are aimed at making day-to-day symptoms easier to handle.

She also uses approaches that help process traumatic memories and the emotions that follow trauma. These methods guide clients through careful, paced work on painful memories while building skills to stay regulated. That combination is useful for post-traumatic stress, sexual assault, and other trauma-related concerns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they choose which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Confirm current session options before booking since formats were not specified in the profile. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time, allowing sessions during a work break, or offering shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can still use the same skill-building, memory-processing, and problem-solving methods in these sessions, adapting exercises so they work well over distance.
