01About Jenna
Jenna Van Houten is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) practicing in Ohio. She helps people manage anxiety, depression, bipolar mood swings, and stress. Jenna also supports those facing grief, relationship or intimacy issues, parenting concerns, and struggles with addiction or ADHD.
Her style is conversational and down-to-earth. Sessions are collaborative and often include education, practical skills, and space to talk about identity and life purpose. Jenna uses empathy, humor, and direct listening to help people feel understood and more able to try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
She draws from several evidence-informed approaches, including Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Those methods are used to build skills for emotion regulation, handle difficult thoughts, and clarify valued goals. Jenna also brings elements of emotionally-focused and existential work when exploring relationships and meaning.
Before independent practice, much of her experience was with youth, young adults, and people impacted by substance use, legal involvement, or family separation. Over six years she has worked with a range of life challenges and transitions, including adoption and foster care issues, attachment and family of origin concerns, and career changes.
Sessions focus on practical next steps as well as deeper exploration when needed. Jenna aims to help people reconnect with their values, strengthen self-worth, and build clearer communication. She offers a warm, straightforward space for people who want an active, collaborative approach to change.

04Online support
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most and building small habits that move you toward those values. It helps when worry, avoidance, or confusing life shifts get in the way of living the life you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and teaches practical skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and mood regulation. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening relationships; it can be useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jenna will talk with you about your goals, try different methods, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is collaborative - you and the therapist decide which strategies fit your needs and preferences.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video calls let you use visual cues and fuller conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging offer brief check-ins, therapy between sessions, and a way to work through small tasks or practice skills during the week.
