Jenna Van Houten, LPCC

Jenna Van Houten is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor (LPCC) based in Ohio with six years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, trauma-related symptoms, and addiction, and supports individuals navigating relationship challenges, family dynamics, grief, parenting concerns, career transitions, and other life changes. Her practice also includes work with LGBT clients, those coping with intimacy-related issues, and people managing ADHD, bipolar disorder, and other mood-related concerns.

Earlier in her career Jenna focused on youth, young adults, couples, and families from high-risk backgrounds, including those affected by substance use, legal involvement, family separation, and multiple traumas. That experience informs a flexible, trauma-aware approach that values the impact of life events while supporting practical recovery and growth. She emphasizes identity development, radical acceptance, self-compassion, and education as tools for long-term change.

Therapeutically, Jenna favors an eclectic blend grounded in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and client-centered principles. She aims to create intentional space for listening and exploration, combining clinical skill with empathy and a conversational style. Jenna frames clients as experts on their own lives and positions herself as a collaborative guide in the work of reconnecting with values, autonomy, and a more integrated sense of self.
