About Jenise
Jenise Aydell-Hontiveros is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as depression, anxiety, anger, family stressors, low self esteem, and mood difficulties. She also supports people dealing with grief, intimacy issues, parenting challenges, career questions, and life changes.
Jenise earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Southeastern Louisiana University and a Master of Social Work from Southern University of New Orleans. She began in the mental health field after a high school psychology class sparked a lasting interest in helping people with life and mental health struggles. Her clinical career in Louisiana has included both direct practice and supervisory roles.
Her approach is client-centered and eclectic. She uses mindfulness, solution-focused techniques, and cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice patterns and try new responses. Sessions are practical and down-to-earth, with attention to specific skills for managing strong feelings like anger and anxiety.
When trauma is part of the picture, Jenise may integrate trauma-informed methods to address painful memories and reactions. She also draws on strategies from Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotion regulation or relationship patterns are central to the work.
People who come in feeling overwhelmed or stuck can expect a listening, task-oriented process aimed at clearer goals and doable steps. To begin, potential clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches in online sessions
Jenise often uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the focus on the person's concerns and goals. That approach emphasizes listening, reflection, and helping the client guide the work to what matters most. It is useful when someone needs a clear space to sort feelings and priorities.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at how thoughts and behaviors keep problems going. CBT breaks issues into manageable pieces and teaches practical tools for managing anger, anxiety, and mood changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques may be used when emotion regulation and coping skills are a major focus, offering concrete skills for distress tolerance and interpersonal effectiveness.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenise will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. That may mean combining elements over time as needs change.
