About Jenny
Jenny Ortega is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and issues tied to identity and trauma. Jenny also lists guilt and shame among her focus areas and offers counseling that addresses those painful feelings.
She uses practical, person-focused methods in sessions. That can include client-centered conversations that follow the person's priorities and cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness techniques and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are also part of her toolbox when they fit the problem.
Jenny's background includes a Master of Social Work with an advanced clinical concentration from Saint Leo University. She has worked in multiple settings and with a mix of people, including older adults, individuals on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. Her training has involved trauma-related approaches and solution-focused methods she applies as needed.
In practical terms she teaches coping skills for stress, sleep trouble, grief, parenting strain, burnout, and mood issues. Sessions emphasize concrete strategies a person can use between meetings. She frames work around current goals and builds from the person's own values and strengths.
She offers sessions in English and Spanish. Before booking, people should confirm which session formats are currently available.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's priorities, letting the person set goals and choosing what to work on first. This approach helps with feelings like guilt or shame by creating space to talk through what matters most to the individual.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves identifying thought patterns that keep someone stuck and testing them with small, practical experiments. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and persistent self-critical thoughts that feed shame.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for regulating intense emotions and for tolerating distress without acting on it. DBT skills can be helpful for people who feel overwhelmed by memory, rage, or self-judgment.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the person to try methods that fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. That may mean blending approaches and adjusting over time based on what helps most.
Session-format details should be confirmed before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy day, shorten check-ins when time is tight, or avoid needing to travel. Ask about current session options when scheduling so arrangements match daily life and goals.
