Motivational Interviewing helps people find the motivation to change, while Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple ways to ease tension during the day. Sessions are practical and goal-oriented while staying grounded in each person’s story. She helps people set small, doable goals and checks progress together.
The work is collaborative and paced to what a person can manage. Jendayi practices in California and holds a Licensed Clinical Social Worker credential, LCSW. She offers services in English and brings 11 years of experience to each session.
If someone wants help sorting priorities and coping with life’s ups and downs, she focuses on clear steps to move forward.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Jendayi integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness Therapy into online sessions to help people manage thoughts and reduce daily stress. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thinking and testing new behaviors to change how life feels. Mindfulness Therapy teaches brief attention and breathing practices that can calm tension and improve focus during a busy day.She also uses Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change and to set realistic next steps. Choosing an approach is a team effort - she checks in about goals, preferences, and what feels doable, then adapts the plan over time so it fits each person’s pace.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different needs. Video lets people use visual cues during a longer session, phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat works for quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing encouragement and brief updates. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other busy schedules.
