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 works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, parenting concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to sexual orientation and gender identity. Jenna also addresses addiction, ADHD, bipolar symptoms, and struggles with intimacy and self-esteem.
She uses a client-centered approach that treats the person as the expert on their life. Sessions focus on practical problem solving and building skills, alongside time to process painful emotions. Jenna blends attachment-based ideas with cognitive-behavioral and mindfulness techniques to help people manage symptoms and respond differently to old patterns.
Many clients have come for help with family problems, communication difficulties, separation and divorce, and parenting stress. She also works with people navigating adoption, foster care issues, attachment concerns, and non-traditional sexual practices such as kink and consensual non-monogamy. Conversations often include exploring identity and working through shame or guilt.
Jenna describes her stance as nonjudgmental and action oriented. She helps people make concrete plans, connects them with resources, and practices skills in session that can be used between meetings. Expect direct problem solving alongside time to reflect on painful experiences.
Sessions are conducted in English. Jenna asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jenna commonly draws on attachment-based ideas and cognitive behavioral therapy. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationships shape how people connect now and helps identify patterns that cause tension. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, useful for anxiety, depression, and relationship patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jenna will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a person's goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean starting with skill work and then turning to deeper attachment themes, or mixing mindfulness practices with problem-solving tools.
Specific session formats are not listed here, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, allow a shorter check-in when time is limited, or remove the need to travel. Therapists use these methods to support progress through weekly or periodic meetings, skills to practice between sessions, and direct planning to address immediate problems.
