About Jennifer
Jennifer "Jenna" Nevins is an Iowa LMHC with five years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, parenting concerns, and family of origin issues. Jenna also supports people dealing with ADHD, compassion fatigue, and LGBT-related concerns.
Her style centers on building a trusting therapeutic relationship. She combines person-centered principles with practical methods that encourage clearer choices and stronger self-worth. Sessions often include talk therapy alongside specific skills work.
Jenna draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behavior. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. For those processing painful memories, she may include EMDR as one of several options.
She pays attention to how early family roles and attachment patterns continue to affect adult life. That can mean talking through expectations learned in childhood, patterns of communication, or how closeness and boundaries were handled. The focus is on making sense of patterns and finding manageable changes.
People who choose Jenna can expect a mix of reflective conversation and concrete strategies. She aims to help clients understand where symptoms come from and to practice different coping tools between sessions. Her work is collaborative and oriented toward practical steps clients can try in everyday life.
How her approaches translate to online work
Attachment-Based Therapy emphasizes exploring patterns of closeness and distance that began in childhood and continue to shape current relationships. Online sessions can be used to identify those patterns and practice new ways of relating in everyday life.Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so clients can clarify values and make choices that fit their lives. In remote sessions this often looks like open conversation paired with concrete next steps to try between meetings.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the thoughts and habits that keep problems going. Online sessions make it straightforward to review thought records, behavior experiments, and homework that support change.
Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to use based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean combining reflective conversation with skills practice or moving toward trauma-focused methods when appropriate.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online appointments can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-in meetings when needed, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist during the intake to choose a session rhythm that fits everyday life.
