Jenna OchoaLICSW, LCSW

Jenna Ochoa is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) and a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. She works with people facing anxiety, depression, stress, grief, relationship strain, and addiction. Jenna also supports those dealing with trauma, pregnancy-related concerns, and postpartum depression. Her manner is calm and interactive, and she aims to make therapy a practical part of daily life.

Jenna blends several evidence-informed approaches to fit each person's needs. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to clarify values and build meaningful action. Mindfulness strategies and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used to reduce overwhelm and improve emotional regulation.

Sessions are collaborative and goal-focused. Jenna listens for what matters to each person and then shapes conversations and exercises to meet those goals. Motivational Interviewing helps when people feel stuck or uncertain about change, and solution-focused steps are used to create small, manageable next moves.

She emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and individuality in every interaction. Jenna aims to help people uncover their own answers and build clearer paths forward after hard times. Her schedule includes some days, evenings, and weekends to fit different routines.

Jenna practices in Oregon and conducts work in English. People interested in beginning therapy start with a brief matching process and then schedule sessions according to availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that fit your life

Jenna often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people get clear on what matters, accept hard feelings, and take actions that match their values. ACT can be useful when someone wants to move forward despite anxiety or mood struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is another core approach she uses to spot unhelpful thoughts and routines, and to practice different ways of thinking and behaving that reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods feel most helpful based on goals, preferences, and what comes up in sessions. That way the plan is tailored rather than one-size-fits-all, and adjustments are made as progress unfolds.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm current session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit care into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. Many people find that using therapy tools and homework between sessions helps bring changes into everyday life.
