Jenna practices in Washington and offers services in English. Her style is compassionate and direct, aiming to help people move from pain toward practical change and renewed hope.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Jenna uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships shape current patterns. This approach helps people notice how they form bonds and respond to closeness or distance in relationships. Client-Centered Therapy is another foundation; it centers the person's perspective so sessions follow what matters most to them and build on their strengths. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try practical experiments that change behavior and mood.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenna will work with each person to choose techniques that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She adapts methods over time, combining relational focus, present-moment skills, and behavioral tools as needed.

For practicalities, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins on days when a shorter meeting helps. It also lets people work with therapists who have specific experience, like intimacy-related or trauma-focused concerns, without needing to travel long distances.
