About Jenna
Jenna uses approaches that center the person and their relationships. She draws from attachment-based ideas to look at patterns in close relationships. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors.
Her background includes nine years of practice. Much of that time involved work with elementary school children and their families in school settings, alongside outpatient experience with a range of needs. That history informs her focus on parenting, family conflict, and life changes.
Jenna emphasizes collaboration. Sessions aim to identify strengths, set small goals, and build skills for day-to-day life. She also supports people facing trauma, substance use concerns, and complex grief, using motivational interviewing and narrative ideas when helpful.
Her style is straightforward and compassionate. Jenna can use phone and video chat, and she has mentioned messaging as an option for supplemental or replacement contact for those who prefer it. People who want to begin can follow the service's matching steps to schedule a first session.

How these approaches fit with online therapy
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how close relationships affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can be a place to notice relationship patterns and practice new ways of relating with guidance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. That makes CBT easy to use in online sessions where homework and short skill practice are often assigned. Motivational Interviewing centers on a persons own reasons for change and helps build motivation; it works well when someone is weighing options about substance use, health habits, or life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try a method, and adapt plans based on what helps most. This is a collaborative process where the therapist and client decide what feels useful.
The biography notes video and phone chat plus messaging as communication options used for some clients. If you want to use any of those formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose a quieter time of day or an evening slot. These practical benefits help therapy fit into everyday life without changing the therapeutic focus.
