About Jenna
Jenna Elwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with three years of clinical experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. Jenna focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life more manageable.
She starts by listening to each person’s story and noticing strengths that have helped before. Sessions emphasize clear goals and small, doable actions rather than abstract talk. Jenna helps clients break worrying patterns into specific habits that can be changed over time.
When addiction or substance use is part of the picture she focuses on coping strategies and routines that support recovery. For relationship concerns she helps people identify patterns that keep them stuck and practices different ways of communicating. With trauma and grief she works at a pace people can manage and uses techniques to reduce intense reactions.
Jenna also pays attention to attachment and family of origin issues that influence how people relate now. She helps people notice co-occurring conditions such as mood disorders, OCD symptoms, panic attacks, and the guilt or shame that often accompanies them. Her approach aims to make symptoms easier to handle and daily functioning clearer.
People meet her in straightforward sessions where planning and practical tools are central. Her work is focused on what can be changed in real life, and on helping people take modest steps toward feeling more able to cope.
How evidence-based methods translate to online sessions
Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on measurable change. Cognitive-behavioral style methods help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavioral experiments to test alternatives. These approaches are useful for anxiety, panic, and repetitive worry because they teach concrete skills to change how someone responds.She also draws on trauma-informed strategies that aim to reduce strong reactions and build coping skills over time. Those methods focus on pacing and on skills to manage distress so everyday life feels more manageable. Together these approaches offer practical tools and step-by-step plans rather than general discussion.
Finding the best approach is part of the early work. Jenna treats the process as collaborative and will help pick techniques based on a person’s goals, strengths, and what feels doable. She adjusts the plan as progress is made and as needs shift.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and help therapy fit into a workday, a break, or travel plans. It can also allow shorter check-ins when time is limited and make it simpler to use written tools or screen-sharing during a session.
