About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan who draws on eight years of clinical experience to help people navigate complex life challenges.
Background and approach
She integrates evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside trauma-focused interventions, tailoring sessions to each person's needs while emphasizing practical strategies and forward movement. Whitney has worked extensively with concerns like depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, attention-deficit/hyperactivity disorder (ADHD), addictions, grief, and relationship difficulties.
She welcomes people who are new to therapy and those ready to set concrete goals, offering empathy and encouragement as clients explore change. Her approach balances structured techniques with a supportive stance to build coping skills and clearer thinking patterns.
In sessions she prioritizes collaboration and hope, helping clients develop plans that fit their daily lives. Whether addressing career concerns, parenting challenges, self-esteem, anger, or questions related to sexual orientation and identity, she aims to create a practical, strength-focused path forward.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms of depression, anxiety, and stress; online sessions can guide practical exercises and homework that clients use between meetings. Motivational Interviewing focuses on strengthening a person's own motivation to change by exploring ambivalence and building internal reasons for progress, which can be effective for goals related to addictions, lifestyle shifts, and engagement in treatment.
Choosing the right approach is part of the collaborative process. The therapist works together with each client to consider their goals, preferences, and life context and will adjust methods over time to find what works best for the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care around work, family, and daily responsibilities. These options make it easier to maintain consistent sessions and practice therapeutic skills between meetings, while licensed professionals guide the plan and adapt tools to the online format.
