Jinan Amra , LMFT

Jinan Amra is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of clinical experience. She works mainly with adults and offers therapy in English, Spanish, and Arabic. People often come to her for issues like stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, anger, self-esteem, depression, grief, and intimacy-related worries.

She takes a brief, solution-oriented approach that looks at patterns and practical steps people can take. Sessions focus on identifying strengths and small changes that fit into everyday life. She listens with empathy and uses a warm, nonjudgmental style to help people feel heard.

Her background includes a master’s degree from Nova Southeastern University in Florida and licensure to practice in Florida and Texas. Over the years she has continued learning and blends several approaches to meet each person’s needs. Those methods include acceptance-based work, cognitive and behavioral techniques, mindfulness, dialectical skills, and narrative tools.

In sessions she collaborates with clients to set clear goals and create doable plans. She emphasizes internal resources and practical strategies for coping with life changes, family issues, abandonment concerns, and caregiver stress. The work is paced to match the person’s goals and comfort level.

Jinan encourages people to try different ways of working until they find what helps. She believes setbacks are part of change and supports clients as they build new routines and repair important relationships.

How these approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while choosing actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, stress, and struggles around meaning and direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry, low mood, and anger. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) gives skills for managing intense emotions and handling conflict with clearer communication.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jinan will talk with clients about goals and preferences and suggest strategies that fit their situation. She treats therapy as a collaboration and adjusts methods as progress is made or goals change.

Confirm current session options before booking, since formats are not specified in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and allow shorter check-ins around work or caregiving. It also supports continued work when life circumstances change, because sessions can be scheduled to match a person’s routine rather than the other way around.
