About Jenna
Jenna Murphy is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with five years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, compassion fatigue, and major life changes. Her style focuses on clear, practical steps that people can try between sessions.
Jenna uses parts of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and solution-focused ideas. She also includes mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. Sessions tend to emphasize simple exercises, brief experiments, and step-by-step planning to test what works in daily life.
She frames therapy as a collaborative process. Clients and Jenna set goals together and pick concrete strategies to practice. Progress is tracked in small, measurable ways so adjustments can be made as needed.
Jenna aims to treat the whole person by attending to current stressors and practical coping skills. She encourages short skills practice, breathing and grounding exercises when helpful, and goal-setting for changes the client wants to make. The approach is straightforward and focused on usable tools.
People who prefer direct, structured sessions with room for listening and reflection may find this a good fit. Jenna works in English and practices in North Carolina as an LCMHC.
How CBT and related methods work in online sessions
Jenna draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thought patterns and test new behavior in small steps. CBT sessions often include clear agendas, short experiments to try between meetings, and tracking of outcomes so clients can see what changes. Client-centered work means sessions include open listening and reflection to help people clarify goals and feel heard. Mindfulness techniques are used to build moment-to-moment awareness and simple breathing or grounding practices that reduce reactivity.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jenna collaborates with each person to choose approaches that match their goals and daily life. She reviews what helps and shifts strategies if something isn’t working, so the plan stays practical and relevant.
The practical benefits of online therapy include fitting sessions around work or family commitments and reducing travel time. Online work can also make it easier to practice tools in a familiar setting or to schedule brief check-ins during busy weeks.
