Hey, I’m Jonaĩ (Joe-nay). I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Georgia (private pay, insurance pending) and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in AL (Aetna & Cigna). Grounded in creativity, nature, and connection, I bring those values into my work. As a Certified Advanced Grief Counseling Specialist, I support women navigating grief, anxiety, low self-worth, and life transitions. If loss or change has left you feeling sad, irritable, angry, or overwhelmed, you’re not broken, you’re responding. This is a space to reclaim your strength and move forward with support. I take a strengths-based approach that honors your resilience, even when it feels hard to see. Together, we gently explore inner child healing, tend to old wounds, and reconnect you with your authentic self while building tools for growth and creating freedom in your healing journey, at your pace. In a world that asks you to shrink or stay quiet, you deserve a space where all of you is welcomed. If you’re tired of carrying generational wounds, grief, or daily heaviness alone, support is here. You deserve support that honors your story and your strength. If this resonates, take the next step and claim a space that was made with you in mind.

I am a licensed independent practice-level clinical social worker. I have dedicated my career to working in behavioral health treatment. I have worked within the Department of Defense Schools in Europe and Asia. I have worked with Active Duty members, Veterans and their families. I have provided clinical supervision within both the Department of Defense headquarters and at the Veteran Affairs hospital, in both inpatient and outpatient settings. Prior to joining the Civil Service, I practiced mental health within the civilian community, my focus there was substance abuse, domestic violence and and a variety of mental health issues working with adolescents and adults. My strongest ability lies in helping a client identify strengths and weaknesses while guiding them to identify goals and interventions that will work specifically for them. The most challenging part of therapy is believing it will make a difference. The best way to overcome that hurdle is to see successful outcomes. Clinical experience has taught me that if you are willing to do the work, you will see results. Using the appropriate interventions, combined with mutual openness, respect and trust will enable you to overcome obstacles and achieve goals you didn't believe possible. Through years of dedicated work with all age groups, life experiences and extremely challenging circumstances, I have developed a strong sense of commitment in creating a safe and supportive environment that fosters healing, self-awareness and growth.

Are there things in your life that you want to change to be happier, feel better about yourself, come to terms with things from the past, or have better relationships with others? If you do, I believe that counseling can help you achieve the kind of life you want to have. I'm a clinical psychologist specializing in treatment of post traumatic stress, anxiety, and depression. I have over 20 years of experience as a therapist and I am trained in multiple types of therapies. I'm originally from Oregon, but I have spent most of my adult life in Texas and a few years overseas in Asia and Europe. In addition to private practice, I have been a military psychologist, Veterans Affairs psychologist, PTSD clinic director, Psycho-Social Rehabilitation clinic director, and adjunct clinical assistant professor at UT Health medical school, as well as participating in major research projects in treatment of posttraumatic stress disorder. I believe that therapy is a science as well as an art, and I have found that my knowledge of clinical research can greatly improve the results of counseling. I have found that counseling can be very effective at helping people make the kinds of changes that they desire in their lives, help them to have a healthier sense of self, more satisfying relationships with others, and a better quality of life. I'm confident that you can meet your goals with a bit of work and the right treatment plan.

Hi, I’m Jacqueline Pickens, LICSW-S, PIP, a therapist dedicated to helping adults and couples find balance, peace, and purpose. I specialize in supporting working women, parents, and professionals who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, burnout, or the pressure to do it all. My approach is compassionate, practical, and rooted in evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness-Based practices. I also offer faith-based counseling for those who wish to integrate Christian principles into their healing journey. For couples, I use Prepare/Enrich tools to help strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and deepen connection. In every session, I aim to create a safe, judgment-free space where you can explore challenges, gain clarity, and develop skills that bring lasting peace and confidence to your life. Together, we’ll work toward helping you live your best days—one step at a time.

Frequently asked questions

Why filter by Alabama rather than a city like Huntsville?

When looking for online therapy, you can see anyone that is credentialed in Alabama. We want you to find the best fit, therefore, Grow Therapy shows available therapists across Alabama from Montgomery to Birmingham! If you’d rather see someone in-person, you can change the filter from virtual and find a therapist near you in Alabama.

Will my therapist take insurance?

When booking you’ll be asked to verify with your Member ID. However, if you don’t have any of the insurances available you can select cash. Our therapists will have their cost of appointment on their profile. Individual session costs will vary.

How does the Specialty Filter work? Can I find a therapist that focuses on a specific issue?

The specialty filter is optional. You don’t need to check any boxes to see a provider. However, fit is very important when selecting an online therapist. If you have knowledge or experience to recognize what specialties you may need.

Why use Gender, Age, and Identities filters?

Finding a provider with a similar life experience can be beneficial because it can be easier to establish rapport and potentially be understood quicker and clearer.

What to expect during your first session?

Your first therapy session is for you and your therapist to meet each other and to ask any questions that you have about the counseling process. This is where you can expect your therapist to do the same as they will ask questions to gain insight into your specific situation. In this first session the therapist is doing their part to gather as much information so they can better assess if they are able to meet your therapeutic needs. Depending upon your provider's specialty, you may also discuss the methods the therapist will use. For additional information on therapy methods, please visit the Grow Therapy Help Center.Some people feel nervous before their first appointment, and that is totally normal! Coming prepared with a list of questions for your therapist may help. Remember, you're taking a brave step by seeking therapy, and it is okay to be nervous as you try something new.
