Jenny Ortega, LCSW

Jenny Ortega is an LCSW practicing in Florida who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, and life changes. She speaks English and Spanish and meets people where they are to offer practical support and skill-building. Her background includes work with diverse populations and sensitive experiences related to trauma and loss.

Ortega trained in social work with an advanced clinical Master of Social Work from Saint Leo University, earned in 2016. She has four years of clinical experience and has worked in a range of settings. That experience includes supporting older adults, people on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

Her approach mixes client-centered work with cognitive behavioral tools and elements of dialectical behavior and mindfulness therapies. She often uses structured strategies to manage mood and anxiety while also listening closely to each person’s priorities. Motivational interviewing and solution-focused techniques are part of her toolkit when people want concrete steps to change.

Jenny commonly supports people dealing with grief, relationship stress, parenting strain, caregiving burdens, abandonment and identity concerns. She also helps with sleep problems, intimacy-related worries, and the challenges that come with major life transitions. She aims to teach practical skills that make daily life easier.

Sessions are guided by the client’s goals and comfort. Prospective clients choose the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

How therapeutic approaches guide online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful connection so people feel heard and guided toward their own solutions. It helps when someone wants a space to talk through feelings and make sense of hard choices.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with life changes.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers tools for managing intense emotions and improving relationships through emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. It can be useful for mood instability and high stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose or combine methods based on goals, needs, and what feels most useful. That choice can change over time as progress is made.

Check the session options before booking to confirm current formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let someone choose a quieter time of day or avoid a commute while still meeting regularly with a licensed professional.
