Jenna works with a wide range of concerns, including chronic pain, illness, and disability. She also helps with feelings of emptiness, isolation, and struggles after traumatic brain injury. Women's issues, family problems, forgiveness, and self-love are on her list of focuses.

Online support options
Approaches that shape online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and experiences. The therapist listens deeply, reflects what matters to the person, and supports choices that match their values. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental place to sort out feelings and priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches practical tools to test thoughts and try new behaviors. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and daily stress that get in the way of functioning.
Finding the right approach happens together. Jenna will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest approaches to try. The plan can change as progress is made and new challenges come up so the work stays aligned with real life.
Online therapy offers flexibility across formats. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, homework support, or people who prefer typing. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work and family routines while working on meaningful change.
