About Jenna
Jenna Lopez is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington and a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner (LIMHP) in Nebraska with 15 years of experience.

Jenna also focuses on family of origin issues and attachment concerns that continue to affect daily life.
Her style centers on client-centered care and practical problem solving. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Mindfulness exercises and attachment-based ideas are woven in when they fit the work.
Jenna emphasizes a nonjudgmental approach and encourages honest conversations about hard feelings. She helps people process grief, shame, guilt, or confusion around identity. When appropriate she works with people on action steps and connections to community supports.
Over her career she has supported people dealing with trauma, major mental health symptoms, and challenges related to adoption, foster care, or kink and alternative sex culture. She combines clinical listening with resource navigation to make plans that are practical and doable.
People who choose her can expect a focus on clear goals, straightforward strategies, and attention to how early family roles still shape behavior now. To start, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on relationship patterns formed early in life. Online sessions use discussion and reflective exercises to identify those patterns and try different responses in current relationships. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) involves noticing thoughts and testing them with small behavioral experiments. In remote sessions this looks like setting clear practice tasks, reviewing results, and adjusting strategies together. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills work, relational exploration, or a mix of methods and they review progress along the way. Confirm the specific session formats before booking, as the biography does not list them. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a day - for example, shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, or sessions can avoid travel time. Phone sessions may use less bandwidth, while video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. The main practical benefit is flexibility to match sessions to everyday life and responsibilities, with attention to selecting methods that suit the client's goals.Areas of expertise
