LCSW, 13 years of experience
Hello, I’m Jenn Fuqua, LCSW at Calm Blue Counseling, offering telehealth counseling services across Georgia. With over 13 years of experience in the mental health field, I provide compassionate, evidence-based therapy for teens, adults, and couples navigating life’s challenges. I hold a Master’s degree in Adult Mental Health from Case Western Reserve University, blending insight, empathy, and structure in my counseling approach. My professional background includes both inpatient and outpatient treatment, allowing me to support clients through a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, trauma recovery, anger management, relationship issues, life transitions, and self-esteem growth. As a neurodivergent-friendly therapist, I am committed to creating a safe, inclusive, and affirming counseling space where you can be your authentic self. My goal is to help you build emotional resilience, strengthen coping skills, and rediscover balance and confidence in everyday life.
During our first counseling session, I focus on creating a safe, supportive, and collaborative space where you can feel comfortable sharing your story. My goal is to help you feel understood and empowered as we begin working toward your personal growth and emotional wellness. We’ll start by reviewing confidentiality and informed consent, so you know exactly what to expect and can speak openly in a private, judgment-free environment. I’ll guide you through a few initial assessments to better understand your current challenges, strengths, and goals for therapy. This helps me tailor my approach to fit your unique needs and circumstances. From there, we’ll develop a personalized treatment plan focused on what matters most to you—whether that’s reducing anxiety or depression, improving relationships, navigating life transitions, or building coping skills that support your daily life. I believe therapy is a collaborative process, and your input is essential in shaping our work together. By the end of our first session, you’ll have a clear sense of direction and a foundation for a trusting and effective therapeutic relationship that supports long-term growth and balance.
One of my greatest strengths is my ability to listen deeply and empathetically, allowing me to truly understand and connect with each client’s unique experiences and emotions. I focus on creating a safe, validating, and compassionate space where you feel heard, respected, and supported throughout your counseling journey. My compassion and authenticity guide every session, helping clients feel comfortable enough to explore difficult emotions and begin meaningful change. I bring a balance of empathy, insight, and clinical skill to help you identify patterns, strengthen coping strategies, and move toward healing. I’m also dedicated and solution-focused, ensuring that our work together leads to progress that feels both empowering and sustainable. My goal is to support you as you build resilience, confidence, and a stronger sense of self, one step at a time.
I work best with clients who are ready to make positive changes and explore what’s holding them back from feeling balanced, connected, and fulfilled. I provide compassionate, evidence-based counseling for teens, adults, and couples navigating a variety of emotional and relational challenges. I specialize in supporting clients who want to improve anger management, build emotional awareness, and strengthen communication and relationship skills through individual or couples counseling. My practice is also neurodivergent-friendly and inclusive, offering a safe, affirming space for clients seeking understanding, structure, and support tailored to their unique experiences. Whether you’re working to manage anxiety or depression, heal from past trauma, navigate life transitions, or build stronger connections, I’m here to help you find clarity, confidence, and lasting emotional growth. Together, we’ll create a personalized plan that helps you move toward the life and relationships you want.
Mindfulness-based therapy, such as Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR) or Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy (MBCT), integrates mindfulness principles with psychological practices to help individuals cultivate a non-judgmental awareness of the present moment. My experience with this treatment method has been profoundly transformative, both personally and professionally. In my practice, I use mindfulness techniques to assist clients in developing greater self-awareness, reducing stress, and managing anxiety. By guiding clients through mindfulness exercises like focused breathing, body scans, and mindful observation, I help them learn to observe their thoughts and emotions without becoming overwhelmed by them. This approach fosters a sense of calm and resilience, enabling clients to navigate their challenges with a more balanced perspective. The integration of mindfulness into therapy not only enhances emotional regulation but also empowers clients to embrace a more grounded and compassionate approach to their mental health.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a structured, goal-oriented approach that focuses on identifying and modifying negative thought patterns and behaviors that contribute to emotional distress. My experience with CBT has been deeply rewarding, as it offers a practical framework for helping clients understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and actions. In my practice, I employ CBT techniques to assist clients in recognizing and challenging distorted thinking patterns, setting achievable goals, and developing healthier coping strategies. By using tools such as cognitive restructuring, behavioral experiments, and exposure exercises, I guide clients through a process of self-discovery and change, empowering them to alter maladaptive behaviors and improve their overall well-being. CBT's evidence-based approach not only fosters lasting change but also equips clients with valuable skills to manage future challenges effectively.
In my work with Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), I’ve had the privilege of supporting children and adolescents through some of their most challenging experiences. TF-CBT is specifically designed to help young people process trauma, and each component—whether it's psychoeducation, relaxation, affective modulation, or creating a trauma narrative—plays an essential role in that journey. Using a patient-centered approach, I integrate mindfulness and CBT techniques to help clients build resilience, manage symptoms, and develop healthy coping strategies. Working with caregivers is also central to the process, ensuring that clients have a supportive environment at home to reinforce what they’re learning in therapy. Watching these young people transform, gain confidence, and find new ways to thrive is profoundly rewarding and reminds me why I love this work.
