About Cary
LCSW Dr. Cary Jenson has 25 years of clinical experience and practices in Maine. He focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. Sessions are offered in English and he does not take international clients.
Dr. Jenson combines client-centered methods with cognitive behavioral therapy. He listens for what matters to each person and uses practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Conversations move between understanding feelings and trying small, concrete changes outside sessions.
He has experience supporting people through caregiver stress, cancer and hospice concerns, divorce and separation, and aging-related issues. He also addresses family of origin problems, fatherhood concerns, abandonment, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. He works with mood challenges including Disruptive Mood Dysregulation Disorder and Bipolar concerns.
Across sessions he aims to balance emotional understanding with behavioral work. That can mean reflecting on painful experiences, practicing new coping strategies, or planning small actions to reduce anxiety and sadness. He draws on his years in clinical work and earlier teaching in social work to shape sessions.

How his approaches work for online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting what matters to the client. It helps people feel heard, clarify priorities, and make decisions about next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical exercises to change patterns that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences. That can mean starting with listening and then adding CBT techniques, or vice versa, depending on how someone responds.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking.

It also makes it possible to continue regular therapeutic work during life transitions. Ask about the session format and scheduling when you complete the matching questionnaire.
