Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and grief, and common life challenges such as parenting, career strain, and anger.

Her main approaches include Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Trauma-Focused Therapy. Those methods guide how she structures conversations and plans, but the emphasis is on what a person needs in the present moment. Treatment choices are adjusted as progress and challenges become clear.
Dr. Jenerette has experience with urban settings and the stressors that often come with them. She works with practical concerns like managing strong reactions, reducing unhelpful thinking, and rebuilding daily routines after loss or upheaval. Sessions often include problem-solving, behavioral experiments, and skill practice.
People who want a direct, goal-oriented approach find her style useful. She asks about current difficulties, helps set realistic steps, and checks in on progress. To begin, readers should use the site intake flow to match and schedule an initial appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches guide online work
Dr. Jenerette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to shape online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors in daily life, which helps with anxiety, depression, and managing strong reactions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative style that helps someone clarify what they want to change and build their own reasons to try new steps.She also draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events are affecting present functioning. That approach looks at how traumatic experiences shape current patterns and adds skills and paced processing to reduce intense reactions and improve coping.
Finding the right method is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, try approaches that fit those aims, and adjust plans based on what helps. The process is collaborative and focused on practical next steps.
The biography does not list session formats, so confirm which options are offered before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Therapists can choose approaches that translate well to remote sessions, such as homework assignments, skill practice, and structured checklists that a person can use between meetings.
