Jenna Ochoa , LICSW, LCSW

Jenna Ochoa is a licensed clinical social worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Denver and a decade of experience supporting people through life transitions and difficult moments. She brings a calm, interactive style to sessions and has worked with a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, relationship challenges, career stress, postpartum struggles, ADHD, and experiences of trauma or abuse. Jenna combines practical skill with compassionate attention to individuality and sensitivity, tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person she meets.

Her clinical approach blends cognitive-behavioral techniques with humanistic and solution-focused elements, Motivational Interviewing, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and trauma-focused cognitive behavioral methods to meet specific needs. Jenna aims to help clients gain insight, accept what is outside their control, make meaningful changes, and move toward goals they identify as important. She views the therapeutic relationship as a collaborative process in which the therapist supports discovery rather than prescribing answers.

Committed to consistent support, Jenna emphasizes respect, compassion, and practical tools for daily life. She maintains a flexible schedule that includes days, evenings, and weekends to accommodate differing needs and routines, and she approaches each referral with care and attention to the person she will be working with.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jenna uses evidence-based approaches adapted for online work to meet varying needs and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thought and behavior patterns and developing practical strategies to change them - it is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills in emotion regulation, distress tolerance, interpersonal effectiveness, and mindfulness to support people managing intense emotions and relationship challenges. Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative, goal-oriented method that helps people resolve ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation to change, which can be useful for career shifts, addictions, and other behavior changes.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapy process. Jenna works collaboratively with clients to explore what feels most useful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts methods as the work progresses.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - making it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, continue care during transitions, and access support from different locations. These options allow therapists and licensed professionals to focus on meaningful progress while accommodating each person’s life and pace.
