About Whitney

Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and related concerns. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing alongside person-centered methods to help clients set goals and make change.

Dr. Jenerette often works with people who are new to therapy and who want practical steps forward. Sessions tend to focus on identifying patterns that keep problems going and on small, achievable changes. She also addresses family concerns, parenting strain, relationship stress, grief, addiction issues, ADHD-related challenges, anger, self-esteem, career questions and LGBT-related concerns.

Her approach favors clear goals and collaborative planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact. Motivational Interviewing helps people resolve mixed feelings and find reasons to change. Person-centered methods emphasize listening and responding to what matters to the individual.

In sessions she typically helps people create concrete coping strategies and step-by-step plans. That can include short behavioral experiments, thought records, and goal-setting conversations. The work is practical and focused on what a person can try between meetings.

Dr. Jenerette has worked in urban settings and brings that background into clinical decision-making. She asks new clients to identify immediate concerns and practical priorities at the first meeting. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule their first session through the service.

How her methods translate to online work

Online sessions with Dr. Jenerette use practical, evidence-based methods. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings and actions and offers straightforward exercises to try between sessions. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to resolve mixed feelings and build commitment to change; it helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about next steps.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. She will talk with each person about goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they pick strategies that fit the person's daily life and priorities rather than imposing one fixed method.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while they try the coping skills and behavior changes discussed in sessions.
