She centers each person’s own expertise about their life, helping them identify strengths and practical steps to address present challenges while using evidence-informed strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She also brings experience helping clients impacted by domestic violence and sexual assault, offering attentive care that honors each person’s pace and goals. Jenna encourages those starting therapy by acknowledging the courage it takes to seek help and by emphasizing collaborative planning and skill-building.
Her approach blends empathy and active problem solving, creating a balance between validation and practical tools. Jenna works in English and provides a variety of session formats to fit different schedules and needs, aiming to make supportive care approachable and workable for everyday life.
Online therapy using client-centered and CBT approaches
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes understanding each person’s perspective and building a collaborative, respectful relationship; it focuses on listening, validation, and helping clients access their own strengths to guide change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to identify and adjust unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be useful for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and responses to trauma. Together these approaches offer both empathic support and concrete tools for everyday coping.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jenna will work collaboratively to determine which methods best fit a client’s needs, goals, and preferences. She aims to combine warmth and respect with structured strategies so clients can try techniques and adapt them over time with the therapist’s guidance.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which help make scheduling more flexible and allow people to access care from their chosen location. These formats can support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and continuity of care for those balancing work, family, or other commitments, while allowing licensed professionals to tailor the mode of contact to each client’s circumstances.
