About Jenny
Jenny Ortega blends practical, person-focused therapy with structured tools to address stress and mood concerns. She is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker practicing in Florida and speaks English and Spanish. Jenny uses clear, direct techniques to help people cope with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship struggles, and parenting stress.
Her approach centers on collaborative sessions where the person's goals guide each step. She draws from client-centered methods to create a respectful space and from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
How Jenny works
Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness strategies are added when emotional regulation or stress management are priorities. Jenny has four years of clinical experience. That background includes work with people affected by trauma and abuse, mood disorders, LGBTQ concerns, and those on the autism spectrum.
She also has experience supporting people dealing with sleep problems, intimacy-related issues, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Practical skill-building is a common thread in her sessions. Jenny teaches concrete strategies for communication, coping with life changes, and managing daily stress.
She also helps people navigate complex family-related challenges such as blended households, adoption and foster care concerns, caregiver stress, and divorce-related adjustments. Sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, and Jenny will work with each person to find an approach that fits their needs and schedule.

Online support options
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Jenny uses client-centered therapy to keep the conversation focused on what matters most to the person. This approach emphasizes listening, respect, and collaboration so goals come from the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is used to spot patterns of thinking and behavior that maintain anxiety or low mood, and to build practical skills for change. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers tools for emotional regulation and distress tolerance when feelings feel overwhelming.Finding the best approach is a shared process. Jenny will discuss what is getting in the way of daily functioning and suggest strategies that match the person's goals and preferences. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper weekly sessions where visual connection helps. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter space is easier to arrange. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, and steady contact between longer sessions. These options give flexibility to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or other commitments.
