About Jenny

Jenny Henson, LPC, helps people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, relationship pain, or questions about parenting and self-worth. She writes plainly and listens without judgment. She aims to help clients regain a sense of control over their thoughts and daily life.

Jenny brings about 10 years of counseling experience. Before independent practice she worked in schools with children and adults, supporting students ages 8 to 19 and the adults in those settings. She draws on practical techniques to address anxiety, depression, trauma, addiction concerns, and life transitions.

In sessions she focuses on clear, step-by-step work that clients can try between meetings. That may include cognitive tools to notice unhelpful thinking, mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity, and targeted trauma work when needed. She also uses motivational approaches to support change and momentum.

Her background includes years in school-based counseling and more than three years in independent practice. Jenny says she will be honest about fit and will help people find other resources when appropriate. She emphasizes respectful, down-to-earth conversations that move toward real, manageable goals.

People who choose her often want practical skills and a calm, direct guide. She speaks English and practices in Texas. If someone wants to begin, they complete the site intake and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic methods translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk and to develop their own solutions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to spot and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior. It often helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with ADHD or mood swings.

EMDR is a trauma-focused method that uses structured processing to reduce the hold of painful memories. It can be used when past events continue to cause strong reactions in daily life.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jenny will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, preferences, and the issues they bring. That plan can shift over time as progress is made.

Confirm the session formats before booking because the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce commute time, and allow shorter check-ins or flexible scheduling when needed. Licensed professionals can tailor techniques like CBT or mindfulness so they work well in remote sessions, while trauma-focused work is paced to match the client's readiness.
