About Traynette
Traynette Jenkins-Reese is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri who helps people dealing with anger, anxiety, depression, grief, and the stress of life changes. She also supports clients facing family and relationship conflict, parenting strain, intimacy concerns, and wounds from trauma and abuse. She draws on 24 years in the mental health field.
During that time she has worked in residential treatment, outpatient settings, in-home care, and employee assistance programs.
Background and approach
That breadth gives her experience with many kinds of problems and with people from varied backgrounds. In sessions she uses a person-centered style that starts from where the client is. She then tailors tools to fit the person’s needs rather than forcing one method on everyone.
Practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and solution-focused therapy are often blended into her work. Traynette aims to be warm, non-judgmental, and supportive. She helps people set small, clear steps to change behavior, manage strong feelings like anger, and repair communication patterns.
The focus is on what will make daily life feel more manageable. Her experience includes supporting young adults, blended family concerns, communication problems, and family problems. Sessions are offered in English and delivered in ways that fit modern life, including video, phone, chat, and messaging.
She works collaboratively to find approaches that match each person’s goals and pace.

Therapeutic approaches and online care
Client-centered therapy means the session begins with the person's experience and priorities. The therapist listens closely and shapes the work around what matters most to the client, which helps with emotional concerns and relationship stress.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills for managing anger, anxiety, and depressive symptoms through behavior changes and thought patterns to try between sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will review goals, try methods that fit the issue, and adjust based on what helps most. That decision is collaborative and paced to the client's needs and comfort.
Online therapy offers several flexible ways to connect: video calls for full face-to-face conversations, phone sessions when speaking works better, live chat for short check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, use less bandwidth when needed, have a quick written check-in, or choose a shorter format for a focused moment of work.
