About Jenny
Jenny Ortega is an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She speaks English and Spanish and works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, parenting stress, and codependency-related patterns.
She uses straightforward, person-centered conversation to help people notice what is getting in the way of clearer choices. Sessions focus on practical skills for managing emotions, improving sleep, and easing overwhelm. Jenny draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness practices, and motivational techniques to reduce distress and increase day-to-day coping.
Her background includes work with older adults, autistic children and adolescents, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. That experience informs how she talks about trauma, grief, and the effects of chronic stress. She aims to teach skills that help in everyday life rather than only explore problems.
In sessions she uses a mix of short-term problem solving and longer conversations about patterns such as people-pleasing, difficulty saying no, or staying in relationships that feel one-sided. She also addresses parenting strain, caregiver stress, and issues connected to adoption, abandonment, and blended families. Jenny helps people develop clearer personal boundaries and steadier emotional responses.
Her approach is collaborative and practical. Clients work together with her to set goals, try new behaviors, and track what helps. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking a first appointment.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters to the client. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and helps people decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches hands-on strategies to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what actually helps in daily life.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or school. It also lets people use shorter check-ins, avoid commuting time, or choose sessions that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT, DBT, and mindfulness exercises to the online setting so practical skills are practiced between sessions.
