About Jenna
Jenna Van Houten is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with six years of clinical experience. She works with adults on anger, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. Jenna also supports people facing addiction, trauma, parenting stress, and questions about sexuality and identity.
Her style is conversational and straightforward. Sessions focus on talking through what feels stuck and learning practical skills to change how everyday moments unfold. She blends evidence-based methods with plain explanations and occasional humor, and she encourages honesty and self-awareness as starting points for change.
Jenna draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and emotionally focused and existential approaches. She uses these tools to help people notice patterns, practice different responses, and build routines that reduce reactive anger and ongoing resentments. Education and skill-building are frequent parts of sessions.
Earlier in her career she worked mainly with youth, young adults, and families impacted by substance use, legal involvement, and multiple traumas. That background informs how she frames safety, relationship dynamics, and communication in adult work today. She emphasizes autonomy and identity development when addressing relationship or intimacy-related concerns.
People who choose Jenna can expect direct conversation, collaborative planning, and step-by-step skills practice. If a different fit seems better, she offers to help find another clinician who matches the person’s needs.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice hard thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them. It focuses on values and small behavioral steps to move toward what matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep anger cycling and then practicing different responses to reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds concrete emotion-regulation and distress-tolerance skills to manage intense moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and everyday life. She will check in about what helps and adjust tools over time rather than insisting on one method from the start.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people practice skills in the settings where anger arises. Ask about the available formats and how Jenna adapts ACT, CBT, or DBT techniques for the way you want to meet.
