She brings ten years of experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, anger, grief, relationship concerns, and postpartum depression.

Background and approach
This mix helps people notice thoughts and feelings, test new behaviors, and build steady coping skills. In sessions she listens closely and treats each person with respect and sensitivity. Conversations are shaped around the person’s goals, whether that means reducing overwhelm, handling strong emotions, or working through past trauma and abuse.
She offers straightforward suggestions and collaborative problem solving. Her background includes an MSW from the University of Denver and licensure in Oregon as LICSW and LCSW. Over a decade of practice has included work with addiction, career concerns, LGBT issues, family stress, and self-esteem challenges.
Jenna emphasizes small, doable changes that add up over time. People choosing her for help can expect clear goals, regular check-ins, and tools to use between sessions. She makes room for individual differences and adjusts plans as progress is made.
The focus is on practical, steady steps toward the changes each person wants.

How ACT, CBT, and DBT are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts without getting stuck in them and then choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and for making steady changes when emotions run high.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thought patterns and trying small behavior changes to test new ways of coping. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and anger by teaching practical skills to shift reactions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness. It is helpful when strong feelings interfere with daily life or relationships.
Finding the best approach is a team effort. The therapist will work together with each person to choose or combine methods based on goals, preferences, and what helps in early sessions. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy makes those approaches available in flexible ways. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and fuller interaction. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to check in between meetings or for short updates. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while working on practical skills and emotional changes.
