Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jenny Ortega commonly uses client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide online sessions. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where the therapist listens closely and helps clients discover their own solutions - it is useful for improving self-esteem, communication, and relationship concerns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, making it a practical option for anxiety, depression, stress, and mood-related challenges.

She may also draw on techniques from Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) when clients need tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer interpersonal boundaries. Jenny tailors these approaches to each person's history and goals, working collaboratively to determine which methods fit best based on the client’s needs and preferences.

Online therapy with Jenny can take place by video call, phone session, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to access regular support without travel, allow sessions to fit into busy lives, and provide multiple ways to communicate depending on what feels most helpful for the client.
