About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and other life challenges like ADHD, relationship strain, grief, parenting concerns, and career questions. She also supports those navigating addiction and LGBT-related concerns.
She typically uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing, and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Sessions focus on practical steps: noticing unhelpful thoughts, testing new responses, and building steady habits. She often helps people set concrete goals and track small changes over time.
Whitney has particular experience in urban settings and with people who are new to therapy. She explains options plainly and works at a pace people can handle. Sessions involve talking through problems, trying simple exercises, and adjusting plans based on what helps.
Her approach is collaborative. She listens to the person’s priorities and lays out clear next steps. When trauma is a central concern, she pairs safety-focused pacing with techniques aimed at reducing overwhelming reactions.
People who prefer structured, goal-focused work tend to find this style useful. She asks about strengths and barriers, then helps build manageable routines and coping skills. To begin, users are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Jenerette works with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in ways that translate to remote work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing different behaviors. Online, that often means setting short, doable experiments between sessions and reviewing what happened. Motivational Interviewing centers on building a person’s own reasons for change through focused conversation and reflective questions, which can work well in video or phone discussions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review your goals and preferences and suggest which methods to try first. Together you can adjust pacing and techniques based on what feels manageable and useful for daily life.
Session formats were not listed in the original biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people choose remote work to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, or use a simpler check-in during a work break. Online sessions can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to keep consistent appointments without rearranging as much of daily life.
