About Jenna

Jenna Plouffe is a licensed clinical professional counselor who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She offers straightforward, supportive care for parents and adults facing relationship strain, grief, stress, anxiety, and changes in family life. Jenna writes in plain terms and aims to help people build confidence and find practical ways forward.

Sessions can include messaging, phone, or video contact to suit different schedules and comfort levels. Jenna brings nine years of clinical experience and a Montana LCPC credential.

Background and approach

Much of her early work involved supporting elementary school children and their families, and she continues to draw on that experience when helping parents navigate school-related and family transitions. She also supports people managing addiction, trauma, and mood-related concerns including depression and bipolar disorder. Her approach centers on listening first and following each person’s lead.

Jenna uses Attachment-Based techniques to look at how relationships affect behavior and emotions. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a nonjudgmental space and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to work on thinking and behavior patterns. Practical tools and small steps are common in her work.

She helps people build coping skills for anxiety, manage stress, and address parenting challenges. For those facing grief or life changes, she offers focused support to move through difficult moments. Jenna accepts international clients and conducts sessions in English.

She offers flexible session formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and session options and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Approaches that translate to online care

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early and current relationships shape feelings and behavior; online sessions can use this approach to help parents and adults notice and change patterns in close relationships. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes active listening and respect for the person’s experience, creating a calm space where people can talk through family stresses and grief. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or improve mood, which works well in short exercises over video or messaging.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and then try methods that feel practical and useful. This is a collaborative process and can be adjusted as needs change.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy families and people in different places. Video calls let the therapist and client work face to face, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging can fit into tight schedules or provide extra check-ins. These options make it easier to practice skills between sessions and keep therapy consistent when life is hectic.

Attachment-Based Therapy

Looks at how early bonds shaped what you expect from closeness, and how that plays out now with a partner, a parent, or your own children.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

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.
