About Jenna

Jenna Hendershot is a licensed clinical social worker who supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, trauma and family concerns. She meets adults where they are and focuses on building a real therapeutic relationship first. Conversations are straightforward and paced to each person’s comfort level so clients can take small, steady steps toward feeling better.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Jenna uses evidence-based techniques to help people change unhelpful patterns and reframe difficult experiences.

Background and approach

She talks with clients about values and goals, then helps them practice manageable skills between sessions. Jenna has four years of clinical experience and holds the LCSW credential, which stands for licensed clinical social worker. She practices in Indiana and conducts sessions in English.

Outside work she enjoys cooking, reading, and spending time outdoors with her two dogs, Jewel and Moose. In sessions you can expect practical conversation, steady support, and a focus on skills that make daily life easier. Jenna aims to make beginning therapy feel simple and approachable so people can focus on what matters to them.

Her approach centers on building trust and then working toward long-term change. She helps clients explore past experiences, practice new ways of thinking, and move at a pace that feels safe. The process is guided by the client’s goals and preferences, with an emphasis on lasting progress rather than quick fixes.

How therapeutic approaches work online

Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to guide sessions online. One common approach focuses on changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns through structured exercises and practice. This helps with anxiety, low mood, and stress by teaching practical skills to manage symptoms.

Another approach emphasizes working through past difficult experiences at a steady pace while building new ways of responding. This can lessen the hold of traumatic memories and improve everyday coping. Both approaches are practical and skill-oriented, aiming to give tools people can use between sessions.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and daily life to decide together which techniques to try. The plan can change as progress is made, and decisions are made collaboratively.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and practice to each format so therapy stays useful even when it’s not in person.
