About Jennifer

Jennifer Pena is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She brings five years of clinical experience to her work and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship concerns. Jennifer speaks English and offers sessions online through video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.

Jennifer emphasizes a straightforward, supportive style. She listens closely, asks clear questions, and uses practical tools people can try between sessions.

Background and approach

Sessions often include conversation alongside worksheets or short exercises to build skills for everyday life. Her approach draws on Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite unhelpful stories about themselves. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques appear when clients need skills for managing intense emotions and changing unhelpful thinking patterns. Jennifer works with a broad range of concerns including trauma and abuse, self-harm, compassion fatigue, career stress, and issues like body image or codependency.

She tailors her work to each person’s needs and goals, focusing on what is practical and doable for their life. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step are used to connect with her. Sessions are billed through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jennifer directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

Online session options

How therapeutic approaches work online

Jennifer often uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and change the stories they tell about themselves. This approach helps with issues like low self-esteem, life purpose questions, shame, and feelings of emptiness by separating the person from the problem and finding alternative ways to see events.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which means sessions focus on listening, empathy, and the client's own goals. That approach is useful when people need a respectful space to sort through feelings and make decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try small behavior changes that reduce anxiety or depression.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and then try methods that fit those needs. Techniques can be blended or adjusted over time based on what helps most.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between appointments. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule and maintain continuity of care.
