About Jenna
Jenna Lopez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 15 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship concerns, and issues related to sexual orientation or gender identity. Jenna works with adults on problems like parenting strain, grief, addiction, and major life changes.
Jenna uses straightforward, action-focused methods in sessions. She listens for what is getting in the way and then helps people test different ways of thinking and behaving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is part of her approach, along with attachment-based and client-centered methods. She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness when helpful.
In practice she emphasizes clear goals and small, observable steps. Conversations often move from understanding patterns to trying concrete strategies between sessions. Jenna can help set up practical action plans and connect people with community resources when needed.
She aims to reduce stigma around seeking help and encourages direct honesty in sessions. Jenna describes her role as a collaborator who helps people sort through painful feelings and rebuild routines that feel manageable. Her background in social work influences a problem-solving orientation and attention to the social factors affecting mental health.
If someone wants structured, skills-based work that also attends to relationships and identity, Jenna offers that blend. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking and follow the site steps to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How Jenna uses structured approaches in online work
Jenna commonly applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new responses. CBT focuses on concrete skill practice and simple experiments to change patterns of thinking and behavior, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past and current relationships shape expectations and reactions. That approach helps when relationship patterns, family of origin issues, or attachment difficulties are part of the problem.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will review goals and preferences with each person and decide together whether CBT, attachment-based work, DBT skills, or mindfulness techniques best fit the situation. The choice is collaborative and can shift as needs change.
Confirm the available session formats before booking so you know what options are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule - for example shorter check-ins during a break, avoiding travel time, or using audio-only when bandwidth is limited. These practical benefits can help people keep consistent appointments while they practice new skills between sessions.
