About Jennie

Jennie Jensen is a licensed marriage and family therapist who focuses on practical support for everyday problems. She speaks plainly and helps people sort through stress, anxiety, grief, relationship strain, and issues around self-worth. Her approach aims to make small changes that add up to better days at home and work.

She has seven years of clinical experience and holds the California Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist credential - LMFT.

Background and approach

Jennie uses familiar, evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help people identify patterns and try new ways of responding. She also draws on solution-focused ideas and person-centered therapy to keep work goal-oriented and respectful of each person’s pace. In sessions she helps clients name thoughts and habits that keep them stuck and then practices alternative responses.

That might mean learning a simple breathing or grounding skill, testing a new way to talk with a partner, or setting a tiny goal to rebuild confidence. Jennie pays attention to feelings that have been put off and helps clients make sense of them.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, family and relationship concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, self-esteem, and career questions. Sessions are offered in English and are tailored to the problem at hand. Jennie aims to build practical skills and clearer thinking so people can handle hard moments more easily.

She meets clients where they are and works collaboratively to set realistic next steps.

Evidence-based approaches for online family and life challenges

Jennie uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and day-to-day stress because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps.

She also uses solution-focused ideas that focus on what works now and on small, achievable goals. Those techniques help clients move toward change quickly and track progress in concrete ways.

Mindfulness practices are woven into sessions to teach simple breathing and grounding skills. These tools can reduce reactivity and help with emotion management when things feel overwhelming.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jennie will listen to your concerns, goals, and preferences and then suggest a mix of methods that fit your situation. She adjusts the plan as you try things and see what helps.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to get support from home or work. They also allow ongoing skill practice between sessions and flexible check-ins when life gets hectic.
