About Jenna
Jenna Lapointe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who blends compassionate listening with concrete, practical tools. She uses approachable therapy to help people reduce distress and gain clearer ways to handle hard moments. Jenna presents herself in a calm, direct manner so parents and caregivers can quickly see what to expect in a session.
Her practice emphasizes understanding how thoughts, body sensations, and actions connect. Jenna often helps people reframe unhelpful habits and try new, healthier behaviors outside of sessions.
Background and approach
She favors methods that combine talking and body-based work so changes land in everyday life, not just in the therapy room. With 13 years of clinical experience, she draws on a range of methods and tailors them to each person's needs. Expect a client-centered, collaborative process where goals are set together and practical skills are practiced between meetings.
She can guide people dealing with anxiety, stress, depression, grief, trauma, addiction, relationship challenges, and parenting strain. Jenna earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Washington College and a master’s degree in social work from West Virginia University. She holds both LCSW and LICSW credentials and practices in West Virginia.
Sessions are offered in English and use a mix of live and text-based formats. Her approach is straightforward: notice what’s happening, understand why it matters, and try small, concrete changes. That combination is meant to help people feel steadier and better able to manage life’s ups and downs.

Online support
Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life
Jenna often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing in her work. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing difficult thoughts and feelings, clarifying values, and taking small actions that matter. It helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions. EMDR addresses distress tied to traumatic memories by using structured processing techniques to reduce the intensity of painful memories and their impact on daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jenna treats the choice of method as a collaborative decision based on your goals, history, and what feels most helpful. She will talk through options, try approaches in session, and adjust based on what produces the most meaningful change for you.
Online therapy formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues, phone can be lower-bandwidth or better for shorter check-ins, live chat works for real-time typed conversation, and messaging lets you share updates and practice skills between sessions. These options aim to make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep continuity of care when meeting in person is difficult.
