Jaynie Palmer, LCSW

Jaynie Palmer is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Utah who helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma. She meets clients where they are and focuses on practical steps to help reduce symptoms and rebuild daily routines. Jaynie writes in simple, direct terms and aims to make therapy understandable for a worried parent reading on a phone.

Jaynie has four years as an LCSW and many additional years working across social work settings. Her background includes juvenile justice, child welfare, adoption work, individual and group therapy, and involvement in criminal justice systems. That variety has helped her adapt methods to different life stages and situations.

She draws on a trauma-informed perspective when people have experienced acute or chronic trauma. That means she pays attention to safety, pacing, and the ways past harm can affect current thoughts and behavior. She also uses strengths-based ideas to highlight what a person already does well.

Jaynie has worked with children, adolescents, adults, and older adults in clinical and community roles. She supports people dealing with grief, postpartum struggles, panic attacks, body image, shame, and issues tied to first responder or veteran experiences. Her practice also addresses adoption and foster care concerns.

Outside of work she spends time with her daughter and dogs, gardens, travels, and enjoys sporting events. Those interests shape a down-to-earth approach in sessions and a focus on practical strategies that fit daily life.
