About Jenny

She talks with people facing low mood, anger, parenting strain, career uncertainty, grief, trauma, and attention challenges. Jenny aims to make sessions straightforward and practical so parents can use what they learn right away.

Background and approach
Jenny has seven years of clinical experience as a licensed professional counselor in Texas. Over that time she has supported people dealing with PTSD, survivors of abuse, and those managing chronic mental health concerns alongside everyday stressors. Her background includes work with people who experienced physical and sexual trauma, and survivors of human trafficking.
Therapy sessions typically involve setting clear goals, building coping strategies, and rehearsing practical changes. Jenny uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and stay motivated. She also applies trauma-focused methods when trauma is central to the problem.
Conversations are guided by respect and sensitivity. Jenny helps parents balance emotional needs and daily demands, and she works at a steady pace that fits each person. She invites anyone ready to try a different path to reach out and begin matching on the platform.

Online approaches that focus on goals and healing
Client-Centered Therapy places the client's experience at the center of sessions. The therapist listens closely, reflects what is heard, and helps people clarify their values and goals. This approach can help anyone who needs a respectful, steady space to sort out parenting stress and life changes.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Sessions often include short practical exercises and new routines to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and lift low mood. Motivational Interviewing is also used to strengthen motivation and clarify reasons for change when someone feels unsure about next steps.
Finding the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. Plans are adjusted over time so the work stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversations and skill work, phone can suit shorter check-ins or times with limited bandwidth, and messaging supports brief updates or ongoing coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy parenting schedules and different daily routines.
