About Jinan
Jinan Amra is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. She speaks English, Spanish, and Arabic and works mainly with adults on common life struggles. She offers a warm, non-judgmental presence and focuses on practical steps people can use right away.
Her style is collaborative and solution-oriented. She listens for strengths and patterns in each person’s story and uses that information to shape goals. Sessions are aimed at clear, achievable change rather than long, theoretical discussions.
Background and approach
Jinan draws from Narrative Therapy and other proven approaches to help people reframe difficult experiences. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness tools when those approaches fit the client’s needs. Choices are tailored to what a person wants to accomplish.
Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and intimacy issues, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, career questions, and coping with life changes. She also addresses family of origin issues, attachment and abandonment worries, body image, eating-related concerns, caregiver stress, and feelings of emptiness or shame.
Clients can expect short-term, goal-focused work when that makes sense, or a longer process when deeper exploration is needed. Jinan emphasizes practical skills, clearer communication, and rebuilding a sense of control. She aims to help people move from stuck to steady progress.
She practices as an LMFT licensed in Florida and Texas and is based in Texas. Her approach centers on listening to each person’s story and partnering to find workable steps forward.

Online session options
How narrative and practical approaches work online
Jinan blends Narrative Therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people untangle their stories and take practical steps forward. Narrative Therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and their lives and helps separate a person from a problem so they can see new options. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy teaches values-based action and acceptance skills to reduce struggle with painful thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and offers tools to change unhelpful patterns.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jinan will listen to what matters most, discuss options, and tailor methods to fit the clientgoals and preferences. Together they set clear goals and check progress as therapy continues.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and role practice, phone sessions are helpful when bandwidth or camera use is limited, short live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and maintain steady contact with a licensed professional.
