About Jenna

Dr. Jenna Meyerberg is a licensed professional counselor with ten years of clinical experience. She works from New Jersey and focuses on family and parenting concerns along with mood and anxiety-related issues.

She brings a warm, direct style to sessions and aims to help families and individuals build on their existing strengths. Jenna trained deeply in mental health counseling, earning a PhD that examined how social media affects mood and well-being.

Background and approach

She uses evidence-based methods in her practice and has advanced training in trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Her background includes research and practical work with young people and family situations. In sessions she talks plainly about what is happening and what can change.

She uses clear tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors. She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and highlight what is already working. Parents can expect straightforward guidance on common concerns like stress, anxiety, sleep problems, postpartum mood changes, and communication struggles.

She also addresses grief, addictions, relationship strain, and self-esteem worries. The work is collaborative and practical, aimed at making day-to-day family life easier. Her approach combines research-informed methods with a warm, approachable manner.

Families and young adults often find the focus on concrete skills and small changes helpful. Jenna encourages questions and gradual progress toward clearer routines and better communication.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and parenting work

Dr. Meyerberg uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing the behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation in everyday family life.

She also uses Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals and build on what already works in a household. That approach is useful when families want practical steps and quick progress on communication or routines.

Choosing the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then together they will try methods that fit the client's needs. The plan can change as progress is made and new issues come up.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. These options let parents and young adults fit sessions around school, work, or childcare and stay connected from home or on the go. The range of formats makes it easier to continue care consistently while using the approaches described above.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
