Jena Ourso, LCSW

Jena Ourso is a Louisiana-based therapist and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with 11 years of professional experience. They have helped people manage stress, grief, trauma, mood disorders and PTSD, as well as challenges related to ADHD, autism, substance use, codependency, LGBTQIA issues, and kink or BDSM matters. Jena draws on a broad clinical background to tailor conversations and treatment plans to each person’s specific needs and circumstances.

Jena approaches work with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, emphasizing a collaborative relationship in which client and therapist set goals and make decisions together. They prioritize a team-based style of care so that therapy reflects each client’s values and life situation. Taking the first step to begin therapy is recognized as an act of courage, and Jena affirms and supports clients through that early process and beyond.

Therapeutic approaches for online support and healing

Jena commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which helps people clarify their values and build psychological flexibility so they can move forward even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. ACT often supports clients facing anxiety, stress, or life transitions by focusing on meaningful action rather than avoidance.

Attachment-Based Therapy is another approach Jena applies to explore how early relationships shape current patterns. This work can be helpful for clients dealing with relationship struggles, abandonment concerns, adoption and foster care issues, and difficulties forming secure connections.

Jena also integrates Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes an empathic, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship in which the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead. This approach supports self-exploration, self-esteem, and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the process, and Jena works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. Licensed professionals and therapists will adapt techniques over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to access care around work, family, or mobility constraints and to maintain continuity of support from wherever you are.
