About Jenny
Jenny Ortega is an LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker) licensed in Florida with four years of clinical experience. She works with stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting challenges, grief, and a range of other issues including LGBTQ matters and trauma-related concerns. Jenny speaks English and Spanish and draws on several therapy approaches to help people manage difficult emotions and day-to-day struggles.
Her background includes a Master of Social Work with an advanced clinical concentration from Saint Leo University, completed in 2016. She has worked in varied settings and with diverse people, including older adults and those on the autism spectrum. That range of experience informs how she notices patterns that come from family of origin and early relationships and how those patterns show up now.
In sessions she uses practical strategies from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. She blends these methods to focus on skills people can use between meetings. Typical work includes stress management, mood regulation, and improving communication in close relationships.
Jenny has particular interest in issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care, blended family strains, caregiver stress, codependency, and intimacy-related concerns. She also addresses sleep problems, parenting stress, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Her bilingual ability supports sessions in both English and Spanish.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. It helps people feel understood and clarifies what they most want to work on, which can be useful when patterns from family of origin are causing stress or confusion.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. It teaches concrete techniques for managing anxiety, low mood, sleep problems, and relationship reactions by practicing different ways of thinking and behaving.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for handling strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can be helpful for people who struggle with intense mood swings, relationship conflict, or coping under stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will review goals, preferences, and what has or has not helped before, then recommend which methods to prioritize. That decision is made together and can change as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by reducing commute time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and letting people choose whether to use video or another mode when available. Therapists and licensed professionals often adapt exercises and homework to work well in remote sessions.
