Jenna Ochoa is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Clinical Social Worker with ten years of experience supporting people through common but heavy challenges. She focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, grief, addiction, and self esteem, and also works with people facing trauma, postpartum depression, and LGBT-related issues.
Her style is calm and interactive. Sessions are shaped around each person's needs and goals, with a mix of practical skills and reflective conversation. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness, and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns and try new responses.
In practice she helps people break problems into manageable steps. That might mean learning tools to reduce anxiety, practicing emotion-regulation skills, or identifying values to guide career and relationship choices. She also offers support after trauma and during postpartum struggles, focusing on safety, stability, and gradual rebuilding of routines.
She aims to treat each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Jenna works to understand where someone is starting from and tailors sessions to fit their pace. Her approach balances direct skill-building with time to reflect on meaning and long-term goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take small actions toward those values, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practicing concrete skills to change them, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage intense feelings and improve relationships.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they decide which methods to try first and adjust the plan over time based on what feels helpful.
Because session formats are not listed in the original biography, readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - people can schedule time between commitments, join from different locations, or choose sessions that fit their energy level that day. Licensed professionals can teach the same CBT, ACT, and DBT skills effectively in remote appointments, using exercises, worksheets, and in-session practice to build new habits and track progress.
