Jenna Lapointe, LCSW, LICSW

Jenna Lapointe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker - LCSW and a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - LICSW practicing in West Virginia with 13 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, codependency, and related struggles such as low self-esteem and grief. Jenna uses plain language and straightforward work in sessions so people know what to expect.

She favors a client-centered approach and draws from several established therapies. Sessions often begin by clarifying what the person wants to change. Jenna then helps identify how thoughts, body sensations, and behaviors are contributing to that pattern. That makes it easier to try small, practical shifts outside of sessions.

Jenna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness-based methods, and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing as part of her work. She selects techniques based on the goals a person names rather than following a single method. This lets people try ways of coping that fit their daily life.

Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Washington College and a master’s degree in social work from West Virginia University. Over the past decade plus she has worked in outpatient settings helping people manage symptoms and life transitions.

People who struggle with people-pleasing, trouble saying no, losing a sense of self in relationships, living around another person's drinking or volatile moods, or chronic caretaking often find concrete guidance in her sessions. To start, the process asks for a short intake and a willingness to practice changes between visits.
