Jenny Ortega

Jenny Ortega is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Florida. She speaks English and Spanish and connects with people from diverse backgrounds. Jenny focuses on everyday struggles like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

She uses straightforward, practical methods in sessions. Jenny draws on Client-Centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her tailor sessions to each person's needs rather than relying on one single method.

Her background includes four years of clinical experience across settings. She has provided support to older adults, people on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBT community. She is especially committed to helping women and children who have experienced trauma and loss.

In a session she listens first, then helps set small, achievable goals. She teaches coping skills for sleep, stress, and relationship strain. She also addresses parenting challenges, grief, and concerns around intimacy and self-esteem.

Jenny keeps learning through continuing education to improve her practice. She encourages a collaborative approach where the person’s goals shape the work. To start, she asks some basic questions and works with the person to plan what comes next.

How approach and online care work together

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the person's lead and creates a space where goals come from the client. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and actions affect feelings and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds strategies for managing strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will talk with the person about goals and preferences and then recommend methods to try. She treats this as a collaborative process and adjusts the plan based on what helps most.

Confirm the available session options before booking so you know how she currently conducts sessions. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into busy days, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also let someone choose whether they want to be on camera, on the phone, or use messaging when those options are offered. Together, the therapist and client decide what format and approach fit the person's life and goals.
