About Jenna
Jenna Ochoa is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a decade of clinical experience supporting people through stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and trauma.
Background and approach
She practices with practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness-based techniques, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused work to help clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and pursue meaningful change. Her style is calm, interactive, and individualized, emphasizing respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Jenna adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s priorities, addressing concerns that include postpartum depression, addiction, anger, self-esteem, career challenges, and issues affecting LGBT clients. She has substantial experience supporting people who have faced trauma and abuse and integrates trauma-informed perspectives into her work.
Licensed in both Oregon and Washington as an LICSW and LCSW, Jenna aims to make therapy a collaborative process that uncovers practical strategies and personal strengths. She offers flexible scheduling with availability across days, evenings, and weekends and invites prospective clients to begin by completing a brief matching questionnaire and scheduling according to her availability.
Integrating practical therapies for online care
Jenna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her online work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and testing new strategies to reduce symptoms like anxiety or depression. ACT emphasizes values-guided action and learning to accept difficult internal experiences while moving toward a meaningful life.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills when appropriate, teaching practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness tools that can be practiced between sessions. These approaches are described in straightforward, skills-oriented language so clients can apply techniques to real-world situations.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. Jenna will work with each client to clarify goals, review preferences, and adjust techniques so therapy fits the person’s needs. That collaborative planning helps determine whether CBT, ACT, DBT skills, or a combination will best support progress.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to use brief check-ins or longer appointments as needed. Licensed professionals can use these formats to teach skills, review work between sessions, and adapt plans as circumstances change, supporting steady, practical progress from wherever clients are located in Oregon.
