About Jena
Jena Ourso is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Louisiana who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, and mood disorders. They also support people concerned about trauma, ADHD, attachment issues, and LGBTQ-related challenges. Jena emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and a nonjudgmental approach in sessions.
Jena draws on 11 years of professional experience to shape flexible care. Sessions focus on clear goals and practical steps clients can try between meetings. The therapist adapts conversations and plans to each person’s situation rather than using one set method for everyone.
The work blends several approaches, including cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, acceptance-based ideas to clarify values, and attachment-focused thinking to improve relationships. Jena uses these tools to help with coping, decision making, and regulating strong emotions.
Clients concerned about adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, or attachment struggles can talk about those experiences and how they affect daily life. Jena also addresses challenges tied to chronic health, kink and BDSM related concerns, and substance use in straightforward, practical ways.
People who start here should expect conversations that are collaborative and goal-focused. Jena encourages small experiments between sessions and checks progress regularly. Those ready to begin will be guided through a brief intake and scheduling process to match needs and timing.
Approaches that guide online collaboration
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about what matters to them and take small actions that match those values. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and ongoing relational patterns shape reactions and trust; it helps people understand relationship dynamics and feel steadier in connections.Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to choose which approaches to try based on their goals, needs, and preferences. That means sessions can mix short-term skills practice with deeper relational work as circumstances require.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or medical appointments. It also allows for brief check-ins when time is tight, or for longer sessions focused on processing hard events. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and pacing to suit everyday life and help clients use skills between meetings.
