About Jenna
Jenna Van Houten is a licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio. She helps people who are struggling with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship pain, parenting stress, addiction concerns, and big life changes. Jenna also supports people facing identity and intimacy questions, mood disorders, ADHD, and work or career uncertainty.
Her style is conversational and down-to-earth. Sessions tend to feel like a calm, focused talk where the person in front leads the way.
Background and approach
Jenna mixes practical skill-building with space to reflect on meaning, identity, and the values that guide daily choices. She draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, client-centered principles, and existential ideas about purpose and freedom. That blend allows for hands-on tools like emotion regulation and thought work alongside deeper conversations about life direction and authenticity.
Before independent practice, most of her work was with youth and young adults and with people from higher-risk backgrounds who faced substance use, legal involvement, family separation, or repeated trauma. Jenna leans into education, honesty, and awareness as first steps toward change, and she aims to help people reconnect with what matters to them.
People who meet with her often cite a mix of empathy, clear skills coaching, and a relaxed sense of humor. She invites collaboration and will help find a different therapist if the fit isn’t right, so the person can get the support they need.

Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Existential therapy looks at questions about meaning, choice, and identity. It helps when people feel stuck, uncertain about purpose, or disconnected from who they want to be. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live alongside difficult thoughts and feelings. Client-centered therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the person’s own perspective guides the work and the therapist listens and reflects.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will collaborate to figure out what fits your goals and preferences, combining practical skills with deeper conversations as needed. That collaborative process aims to match techniques to what you want to change and how you prefer to work.
Online sessions offer flexibility and several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when cues and connection matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, homework, or when a written conversation fits better into a busy day. These options make it simpler to keep therapy consistent around work, family, or other commitments.
