About Jenny

Jenny Norton Schamber brings a person-centered approach to therapy. She focuses on listening carefully and meeting each person where they are. Jenny is a licensed mental health counselor with 12 years of experience and works in Indiana.

She emphasizes understanding and making clients feel heard before moving into specific techniques. Jenny is trained in EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and trauma-focused methods. EMDR helps process distressing memories that keep causing strong reactions.

Background and approach

Internal Family Systems looks at different parts of a person to reduce internal conflict and build self-leadership. Trauma-focused work connects past experiences to current symptoms and helps reduce their hold on daily life. She commonly helps people with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and trauma and abuse.

Jenny also has experience working with couples and families, and she brings that perspective into parenting and family-focused situations when relevant. Her style stays grounded and practical, with attention to relationships and family dynamics. Sessions may begin with listening and clarifying goals.

From there she might use EMDR to target traumatic memories, IFS to help with internal parts, or trauma-focused techniques to build safety and coping. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs. Jenny offers sessions in formats that fit different lives, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

She helps people in English and practices in Indiana.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and trauma work

Jenny uses several evidence-based techniques adapted for online settings. EMDR, or eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, helps process troubling memories that keep causing strong emotional or physical reactions. In online sessions EMDR is guided step by step to target specific memories and reduce their impact.

Internal Family Systems, or IFS, helps people notice and talk to different internal parts. This method aims to reduce internal conflict and strengthen a calm, compassionate core self. It works well for anxiety, trauma reactions, and family-related stress where multiple feelings compete.

She also uses trauma-focused strategies that teach grounding, emotional regulation, and gradual exposure to difficult memories in a paced way. These techniques give practical skills to manage symptoms between sessions.

Choosing the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Together you’ll adjust techniques based on what feels most helpful and what your schedule allows.

Online sessions offer flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around family schedules and daily life. They also let people continue work when travel or childcare makes in-person visits difficult.
