About Jenna
Jenna Ochoa is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Oregon with ten years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, grief, addiction, postpartum depression, trauma and anger. Jenna frames sessions around practical problem-solving and clear goals.
Her style is calm and interactive, and she uses straightforward conversations to help people sort through what matters. She draws on cognitive behavioral strategies to notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness skills are offered to make emotions easier to tolerate in the moment.
Jenna also integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps, and she uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about making a change, bringing curiosity to ambivalence.
Past work includes supporting people after trauma or abuse and assisting those facing career pressures and family concerns. She has experience addressing postpartum depression and challenges connected to identity and LGBT-related stress.
Sessions focus on practical tools, short-term skill work, and planning for real-life situations. Jenna invites clients to set concrete goals and tracks progress together. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take meaningful steps even when feelings are strong. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to set values-based goals and build small daily habits that fit a client’s life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-life experiments. In remote sessions CBT can involve brief homework, thought records, and planning behavioral experiments between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance, such as grounding and opposite action. These skills can be practiced in sessions and then used in everyday moments. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and circumstances. She will check in and adjust the approach over time based on what helps and what does not. Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - shorter check-ins can be scheduled during a break, audio-only conversations reduce bandwidth needs, and exercises can be practiced between sessions in real situations. Many people find these practical benefits help them use skills consistently without changing their routine.Areas of focus
