About Jenna
Jenna Van Houten is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience who focuses on helping people manage ADHD, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and a wide range of life transitions.
Background and approach
She draws on several evidence-informed methods to support clients navigating grief, trauma, mood disorders, stress, and identity- or intimacy-related concerns, while also addressing issues like addiction, parenting struggles, career questions, and self-esteem. Her style is conversational and collaborative, blending clinical skills with empathy, humor, and education.
Jenna emphasizes radical acceptance, authenticity, and identity development, and she creates intentional space for clients to explore how past experiences shape present behavior and relationships. She believes clients are experts on their own lives and aims to walk alongside them as they reconnect with their values and sense of purpose.
Before independent practice, Jenna worked primarily with youth, young adults, couples, and families from high-risk backgrounds and brings that experience to her current work. She uses an eclectic mix of approaches including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and existential-oriented techniques to tailor care to each person’s needs and goals.
Approaches for Online Growth and Resilience
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps clients clarify personal values and build committed action toward them while learning to make room for difficult thoughts and feelings rather than fighting them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and mood-related problems. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) concentrates on attachment and relationship patterns by exploring emotional responses and strengthening bonds in close relationships, which can help with intimacy-related issues and family dynamics.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jenna works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods best match their goals, needs, and preferences. The process often begins with listening and assessment, then testing approaches and adjusting based on what proves most helpful for the individual.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to maintain continuity of care across everyday life demands. These formats support ongoing skill practice, timely check-ins, and consistent access to a licensed professional while allowing therapy to adapt to each client’s lifestyle and communication preferences.
