About Jenna
Jenna Howlett is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in North Carolina with four years of experience. She supports people coping with stress, anxiety, family concerns, self-esteem struggles, depression, life changes, and related issues such as social anxiety and phobia. Jenna's work is described in plain terms so someone worried about social situations can read quickly and decide if they want to learn more.
Jenna uses a person-centered and collaborative style. Sessions focus on what the client wants to work on. She listens for patterns that keep problems repeating and helps people try different ways of responding. Practical tools and coping strategies are introduced when they fit the goals of the session.
Conversations often include skills for managing anxiety and panic, ways to handle difficult interactions, and supports for major life transitions like pregnancy or changes in caregiving roles. Shame, guilt, loneliness, and questions about life purpose are also common topics. Jenna helps people notice reactions and practice alternatives in brief, doable steps.
Her approach emphasizes building self-compassion and clearer communication rather than using technical language. Sessions move at a steady, collaborative pace with attention to small, concrete changes clients can try between meetings. This style is intended to help people feel more grounded when facing social situations and other stressors.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jenna describes her work as person-centered and collaborative, which means online sessions focus on the client's goals and preferred pace. In practice this often looks like short problem-focused conversations, trying small changes between meetings, and reviewing what did or did not help.Two evidence-based approaches often used in this style are skills-based anxiety work and structured behavioral practice. Skills-based anxiety work teaches practical techniques to manage worry and panic, such as breathing and grounding methods, and supports use of those skills in real situations. Structured behavioral practice involves deliberately trying small, manageable exposures to feared social situations and reviewing the results to reduce avoidance over time.
Finding the right mix of techniques is a collaborative process. The therapist will help identify which methods match the client's needs, goals, and preferences and adjust them as progress is made. Clients are invited to give feedback about what helps and what feels difficult.
Session logistics are not listed in the biography, so confirm specific online formats before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Discussing preferred session length, camera use, or scheduling needs can help make remote work practical and workable for everyday life.
