About Jenna

LCMHC in North Carolina with six years of clinical experience, Jenna Willis Aiken helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse. She focuses on women’s issues and supports concerns around pregnancy, postpartum, and motherhood. Sessions emphasize the client’s strengths and perspective.

Jenna uses client-centered methods to let people lead the pace and focus of sessions. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors. In practice this means listening first, then working together to try small, concrete changes that can reduce worry or low mood.

People often come with concerns from recent events or longer-term struggles. Jenna addresses trauma and sexual assault histories alongside related issues such as domestic violence and postpartum depression. She keeps language straightforward and practical during sessions and checks in frequently about what is and is not working.

Her style balances open listening with goal-focused tools. Skills might include thought records, activity planning, and problem-focused coping strategies. These are introduced at a pace the client can manage and are adjusted based on progress.

Jenna asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first appointment. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. People should confirm current session formats before booking if they need a specific option.

How her approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting. Online sessions using this approach let the client set priorities and pace, while the therapist mirrors concerns and asks clarifying questions. This approach suits people who want to shape each session around their immediate needs.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in an online setting emphasizes practical skills. The therapist and client identify specific thoughts and behaviors to try different strategies, such as mood-activity planning or simple thought records. CBT works well for stress, anxiety, and depressive symptoms that respond to stepwise skill practice.

Finding the right approach is part of early work together. Jenna will collaborate with the person to decide which methods to try first and will adjust based on progress, goals, and how comfortable the person feels with each technique.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make fitting care into a busy week easier, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce commute time. Therapists and clients can choose approaches and session lengths that fit daily routines while focusing on practical steps to manage symptoms.
