I have always been fascinated by how people work. As a child I loved learning about how the body works. As I got older my focus shifted to how minds work and how people function in this world. My education centered around mental health how to help people with their problems. I have an MS in Life Span Development and an Med in Counselor Education, both from Purdue University and am now a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) in Ohio. My 30+ year career has found me working with people with anxiety and depression issues, as well as the incredible stresses due to life circumstances.

My general way of relating to people is one of listing intently enough to be able to see things from their point of view, and to show respect, warmth, and humor. I believe that establishing a strong, supportive relationship is of utmost importance in therapy. Respect and honesty are essential for effective therapy. Together we can solve problems and improve bad situations. I tend to favor Cognitive Behavioral approaches in therapy, but am quite capable of adjusting my therapeutic process to the method best suited for the problems at hand.

5 years offering treatment
Hi! My name is Jenna and I am a licensed professional clinical counselor [LPCC] in the state of Ohio with 5 years of professional working experience (6 if inclusive to clinical internship). I have had successful involvement in assisting people to overcome and cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and other mood disorders; relationship needs, communication skills, and family or group conflict and challenges; general life adjustments; and in addressing the day-to-day "life-isms" that can sometimes impact us from being our best, most esteemed and comfortable selves. The majority of my experience has been with youth, young adults, and couples or families from high-risk populations, whether that be those struggling with or impacted by substance use, legal involvement, family disruption and separation, multiple traumas, and otherwise. I tend to utilize an eclectic approach predominantly rooted in DBT, ACT, and CBT therapies while also strongly holding space to validate the life experiences that made an undoubtable impact on you along the way. I truly believe that you are the expert of your own life-- no one will know you or know how to heal you better than you-- but I would be honored to walk next to you in support along the way. I frequently incorporate radical acceptance, authenticity and identity development; genuine connection; autonomy; and education into my practice. I believe that the first key to change is awareness... you have to know what it is in order to change it, and we have to GROW through what we GO through! I tend to take a more casual, conversational approach-- offering a blend of professionally trained and skilled mental health therapy with empathy, humor, and some degree of 'nerding out' to improve insight and help strengthen stability in sense of self.

Is BetterHelp right for me?

Therapists in your city can support you toward a healthier emotional state, regardless of your mental health, life concerns, or healing needs.
