Jenna Lopez , LICSW, LIMHP

Jenna Lopez is a licensed social worker with fifteen years of experience in the mental health field. She holds the credentials LICSW and LIMHP - LICSW denotes a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker and LIMHP denotes a Licensed Independent Mental Health Practitioner - and has spent her career reducing stigma around mental health so people can seek help without shame.

Her practice centers on a client-centered, strengths-based approach that treats each person as the expert on their own life. She combines empathetic listening with practical problem solving, supporting people as they identify goals and develop actionable plans. Much of her clinical work has focused on supporting individuals who have experienced trauma, those coping with major mental health symptoms, and people navigating questions of sexual orientation or gender identity.

Jenna emphasizes a nonjudgmental stance where honesty is valued as the foundation for effective work together. She also brings advocacy skills and resource coordination to help clients connect with supports outside of therapy. Clients have frequently described her as compassionate, joyful, loving, and enthusiastic, and she approaches clinical work with both warmth and a focus on progress.

Clinical Approaches and Online Support

Jenna commonly integrates Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her work. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps rebuild trust and security in relationships, which can be useful for people with attachment concerns or complex family histories. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy and respect, offering a collaborative space where the client’s perspective guides the pace and goals of treatment, helping with issues like self-esteem and life transitions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and learning practical skills to reduce symptoms, often used for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jenna works collaboratively with each person to select methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. She values ongoing conversation about what is helping and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with Jenna can be delivered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to fit care into daily life and to access support from a licensed professional without added travel time.
