Sessions are collaborative and practical, with concrete tools people can try between meetings. Jenna has six years of professional experience supporting people through pregnancy, childbirth, and postpartum challenges, as well as sexual assault, domestic violence, and women's health concerns. She emphasizes strengths and values when helping people manage difficult emotions and life transitions.
Her style is warm and straightforward. She encourages small, manageable steps and recognizes that starting therapy can feel hard. Jenna aims to create a space where people can name what’s happening, learn new coping skills, and move forward at their own pace.
Therapy with Jenna can take different forms depending on needs and goals. She helps people figure out practical strategies for day-to-day stress and longer-term patterns that contribute to anxiety or low mood.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jenna uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy as the main approaches in her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and helping a person feel understood so they can explore what matters most. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and builds practical skills to change thinking and behavior, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jenna works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She checks in about what is and isn't helpful and adjusts the plan together as progress and challenges arise.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth is limited or a quieter setup is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, notes between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and access licensed professionals from different locations.
