Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jenna uses client-centered therapy to prioritize the person's own goals and strengths - this approach focuses on empathetic listening and supporting clients as they discover their own solutions, which can be helpful for building self-esteem and motivation. She also integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors often involved in anxiety and depression. Mindfulness therapy is included as well, offering simple practices to increase present-moment awareness and reduce stress in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenna works together with each client to understand their needs, goals, and preferences, then adapts techniques from these methods to create a treatment plan that fits the individual.

Online therapy with Jenna offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity of care during life transitions, and connect from locations across North Carolina while working with a licensed professional who tailors care to the client's pace and goals.
