About Jenna
Jenna Canterbury is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and a Licensed Independent Social Worker-Clinical Practice (LISW-CP) based in South Carolina. She writes simply and directly to parents who feel overwhelmed by stress, parenting demands, and life changes. Jenna offers a calm, nonjudgmental way to talk through what is happening now and to plan small, workable steps forward.
She draws on person-centered ideas that put the client's experience first. Sessions are also informed by cognitive behavioral approaches that help identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Jenna adapts tools to fit each person rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. Her background includes an undergraduate degree in psychology from the University of Georgia and a Master of Social Work from the University of Memphis. Jenna has eight years of experience in mental health, working across settings that involved direct therapeutic support.
That practical experience guides how she shapes sessions and sets realistic goals. Jenna commonly helps people manage anxiety, stress, mood concerns like depression and bipolar symptoms, and challenges such as grief, trauma, or anger. She also supports parents dealing with the strain of raising children and questions about self-esteem, career stress, and ADHD-related struggles.
Sessions are scheduled with flexibility to fit busy routines, including some evening hours. Her approach is straightforward: listen first, then build predictable steps you can try between meetings.

Online approaches that meet parents where they are
Jenna blends two practical, evidence-based techniques in online work. Person-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the parent feels heard and understood; it helps clarify what matters most and builds a collaborative plan. Cognitive behavioral techniques target specific thoughts and behaviors, breaking problems into manageable parts and testing small changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jenna will work together with each client to choose methods that match goals, daily routines, and comfort with different ways of working. Sessions can shift over time as needs change, and decisions are made collaboratively rather than prescribed up front.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy family life. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging provide quick check-ins and ongoing support between meetings. These options offer flexibility for parents juggling work, school runs, and other demands, while keeping therapeutic work focused and actionable.
