About Jenny
Jenny Ortega is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She speaks English and Spanish and aims to make therapy approachable and practical. Jenny focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and codependency. She also supports people facing trauma, grief, parenting strain, and life transitions.
Jenny earned a Master of Social Work with an advanced clinical concentration from Saint Leo University in 2016. Over four years of practice have included work with older adults, autistic children and adolescents, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBT community. That variety shapes how she adapts sessions to each person’s needs.
Her approach draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Mindfulness Therapy, and Motivational Interviewing. She mixes methods to match a person’s goals and learning style. Sessions include skills teaching, practical coping tools, and space to talk through painful experiences.
Jenny describes her style as collaborative and flexible. She will meet people where they are and offer support in the ways they prefer. She aims to leave people with concrete skills to use between sessions.
Sessions may include discussion, skill practice, and short-term goal work for issues like sleep, self-esteem, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. People who want Spanish language support can work with her in Spanish as well as English.
How her approach adapts to online therapy
Jenny blends client-centered care with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT). Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to what matters most to the person. CBT works on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and codependency patterns. DBT teaches practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that help with intense emotions and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean starting with skill-building from CBT, then adding mindfulness or DBT strategies as needed.
Her biography indicates she can meet by video, talk, or text, though readers should confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice skills between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices for an online setting so progress continues even when life is hectic.
