About Jenny

Jenny Ortega is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida who uses a client-centered approach to help people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to create a straightforward, respectful space for people to talk about what matters most to them. Her work blends practical tools with listening.

She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to help people spot patterns that keep them stuck.

Background and approach

She also draws on dialectical behavior techniques and mindfulness to teach coping skills for intense feelings and moments of overwhelm. Jenny has four years of clinical experience and has worked in settings that reached people across the lifespan. That experience includes supporting people who have faced trauma and abuse, addressing mood disorders, and working with LGBTQ+ clients.

She also has experience related to adoption and foster care, autism, caregiver stress, and aging concerns. In sessions she focuses on concrete goals like improving sleep, managing panic, easing parenting strain, and handling big life changes. Conversations move at a pace the person chooses and include skill practice and short-term strategies when helpful.

She aims to help people leave sessions with something useful to try between meetings. Jenny offers therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, and she supports people who prefer English or Spanish. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step help pair a person with the right fit.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches meet online care

Jenny uses client-centered therapy to put the person's priorities first, listening closely and shaping sessions around what matters to them. This approach helps people set realistic goals and steer the work toward everyday problems like parenting stress or relationship tension.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to practice small experiments that change behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and mood regulation by giving concrete tools to try between sessions.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are offered to help manage intense emotions and improve communication. These skills are practical for moments of crisis, long-term mood instability, or when stronger emotion regulation is needed.

Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend techniques to try. Changes are tested over time and adjusted when something isn’t working as expected.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video works well for in-depth conversations and skills practice, phone is handy when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be a shorter check-in or a way to work between appointments. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week and to keep progress moving forward.
