About Whitney

Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings eight years of clinical experience to her practice in Michigan.

Background and approach

She draws from evidence-based methods to help people manage depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and related challenges, and she emphasizes practical strategies that fit each person's circumstances. Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with Motivational Interviewing and other person-centered practices to support clients in setting and pursuing meaningful goals.

She has cultivated experience working in urban contexts and aims to offer empathy, hope, and concrete tools for coping with life changes, grief, anger, addiction concerns, self-esteem issues, career questions, parenting challenges, relationship and LGBT-related matters, and ADHD. Whitney welcomes people who are new to therapy as well as those ready to engage actively in change.

She frames the work as collaborative and goal-oriented, helping clients develop plans and strategies to improve daily functioning and move toward a more satisfying future.

Integrating practical approaches with online therapy options

Whitney uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns while developing concrete coping skills for symptoms like anxiety, depression, or stress. Motivational Interviewing is another approach she uses to help people explore their readiness for change, clarify personal values, and strengthen motivation for making meaningful shifts in behavior or routines.

Choosing the right therapeutic method is part of the work together; she approaches this decision collaboratively, listening to each person's goals and preferences and recommending or adapting methods that seem likely to fit. Over time the plan can be adjusted so clients feel the approach is meeting their needs.

Online therapy with Whitney is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to improve access and flexibility. These options allow people to engage in counseling from different locations and to select formats that match their schedules and comfort levels, while still receiving structured, evidence-informed care from a licensed professional.
