About Jeni

Jeni Wahlig is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Washington who brings 13 years of clinical experience to work with parents and individuals navigating relationship and family concerns. Jeni creates an accepting space where people can name difficult feelings and try new ways of relating.

The approach is down-to-earth and practical, aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, and the strain that life changes can bring. Clients come for help with parenting questions, intimacy-related issues, and concerns tied to identity and sexuality.

Background and approach

Jeni also supports those facing blended family dynamics, separation or divorce, and challenges like infidelity or commitment worries. Work in sessions often focuses on clearer communication and rebuilding trust. Therapy draws on attachment-based ideas and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to notice patterns in relationships and the feelings that drive them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to shift unhelpful thinking and build coping skills. The Gottman Method and client-centered techniques guide practical conversations about day-to-day interactions. Sessions are conversational and collaborative.

Jeni listens for what matters most and helps people set small, attainable goals. Parents can expect actionable strategies for caregivers, plus attention to each person’s emotional needs. Jeni offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and comfort levels.

Sessions are offered in English and provided by a Washington LMFT.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions

Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes how early bonds shape current relationships; in sessions Jeni helps clients notice interaction patterns and respond to each other's emotional needs more effectively. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on identifying and naming core emotions in relationships to open new ways of connecting and resolving conflict. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that maintain stress or anxiety and teaches concrete strategies to change them.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jeni will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and comfort level, and will adjust the plan as work progresses. That collaborative process helps make sure the tools fit real life and the immediate concerns families face.

Online sessions offer flexibility for busy caregivers and people juggling work or school. Video calls let couples and caregivers see nonverbal cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and text-based messaging or live chat supports quick check-ins or ongoing reflections between meetings. These options make it easier to keep consistent momentum and to practice skills in day-to-day moments.
