About Jenna
Jenna Van Houten is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) in Ohio with six years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship struggles in a straightforward and conversational way. Jenna aims to create a space where clients feel heard and understood while working toward clearer goals.
Her style is relaxed and direct. Sessions often feel like guided conversations with practical tools mixed in. Jenna leans on approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to address daily challenges and deeper patterns.
Background and approach
Jenna often focuses on identity, self-esteem, sexuality, and relationship dynamics. She also supports people navigating grief, career changes, parenting stresses, addiction concerns, ADHD, and mood disorders. She emphasizes honest self-reflection and steady skill building rather than quick fixes.
Before independent practice, much of her work involved youth and young adults and people affected by substance use, legal involvement, and family disruption. That experience informs how she notices patterns and responds to trauma and attachment issues today. In sessions she values empathy, a touch of humor, and clear education about feelings and behavior.
Jenna works collaboratively to help clients notice what matters most and take manageable steps toward change. If the approach feels like a fit, she encourages reaching out to learn more.

Approaches that translate well to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing thoughts and feelings without fighting them and choosing actions that match personal values. It can help with anxiety, stress, and life transitions by clarifying what matters and taking small committed steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for mood disorders, anxiety, and anger when people want concrete tools to try between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people understand and name emotions and how those emotions shape relationships and intimacy. It is beneficial for improving communication and connection in close relationships.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jenna will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and can shift as progress is made or new topics come up.
Online sessions offer flexibility and practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging make it easier to fit support into busy days and to follow up between longer sessions. These options make it simpler to get consistent care without extra travel time or scheduling hurdles.
