About Jenna
Jenna Lopez is a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner with 15 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting concerns. Jenna centers her work on respect and a nonjudgmental attitude to make it easier to talk about hard things.
She uses straightforward, people-focused methods and treats each person as the expert on their life. Sessions tend to blend practical problem solving with support for strong emotions.
Background and approach
Jenna often helps people who have faced trauma, who are navigating gender or sexual orientation questions, and who cope with major mental health challenges. Her style is warm and action oriented. She helps clients create realistic steps toward goals and connects them to resources when needed.
Jenna emphasizes honest conversation and asks for openness so progress can happen. Jenna draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationships shape feelings and behavior. She also uses client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral tools to change unhelpful thoughts, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to manage intense emotions.
Mindfulness practices can be included to build calm and present-moment focus. She is licensed in Washington as well as holding a Nebraska credential and has worked broadly in social work settings. Jenna welcomes conversations about relationship challenges, identity, parenting, addiction, and coping with life changes.
Her approach aims to reduce shame and help people find practical moves toward a better day-to-day life.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Options
Jenna commonly uses attachment-based ideas to explore how early and current relationships affect feelings and behavior, which can help with trust, connection, and patterns that repeat in relationships. She also uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes listening closely and following the client's goals so people feel heard and in charge of their process. Cognitive behavioral therapy is used to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often with practical exercises to try between sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenna treats that choice as a collaboration and will help figure out which methods fit a person's needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what feels helpful and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a deeper connection is preferred, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for quick updates, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and varied routines.
