About Jenna
Jenna Lopez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) who brings 15 years of practice to her work. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and identity concerns. Jenna aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where people can be honest and begin to feel less alone.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her, treating clients as the experts on their own lives.
Background and approach
Jenna combines a strengths-based, client-centered stance with practical steps. She helps people set realistic goals and build plans to reach them. Much of her work has involved trauma, major mental health symptoms, and questions of sexual orientation or gender identity.
She brings steady presence when people sit with painful memories, grief, or shame. Jenna also supports people facing relationship concerns, intimacy questions, and parenting challenges. Her approach blends body-focused work with attachment ideas and evidence-based strategies like cognitive behavioral techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy.
Sessions often include grounding, emotion regulation skills, and talking through patterns that keep problems stuck. Jenna is licensed in Washington and Nebraska - LICSW and LIMHP - and works in English. She offers a practical mix of listening, resource-connecting, and step-by-step problem solving to help people move toward clearer choices and more manageable days.
How Jenna’s Approaches Work Online
Somatic work focuses on how the body holds stress and emotion, using gentle awareness of breath, posture, and bodily sensations to help people feel calmer and more present. It can be helpful for trauma, anxiety, and when emotions feel intense rather than only thinking-based.Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people notice repeating habits in relationships and try new ways of connecting or setting boundaries. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s experience and follows their lead, offering empathy and respect while people decide their next steps.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jenna will talk with each person about goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts pace and tools as progress unfolds.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to match comfort and schedule. These options make it easier to keep consistent meetings, try shorter check-ins, or use written messages for processing between sessions. The variety of formats supports flexible, ongoing work from home or wherever someone is most comfortable.
