Jena Ourso, LCSW

Jena Ourso is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Louisiana with 11 years of experience. Jena works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, mood disorders, grief, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and issues related to LGBT identity and kink. Sessions are practical and direct, focused on changing patterns that cause ongoing difficulty.

Jena uses straightforward conversation and goal-oriented work. She combines approaches such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Attachment-Based Therapy, and Client-Centered Therapy. That mix gives tools for managing difficult emotions, shifting rigid habits, and improving how people relate to others.

Clients can expect clear steps in sessions. Jena will help identify recurring family-of-origin patterns and how they influence current choices. She also addresses coping with life changes, grief, and the ways addiction or codependency affect daily life.

The therapist frames work as a team effort. She listens, reflects patterns back, and offers exercises and practice to try between sessions. Conversations can include skill-building, values clarification, and strategies to reduce overwhelming feelings.

Her experience includes work with neurodiversity, adoption and foster care concerns, chronic illness and pain, and sexual diversity including BDSM and kink topics. Jena works in English and draws on both behavioral and relational methods to help people change what isn't working.
