About Jenna
Jenna Willis Aiken is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She draws on a client-centered approach to build a collaborative space where people feel heard and respected. Jenna aims to make starting therapy less intimidating and acknowledges the courage it takes to seek help.
She has six years of clinical experience supporting people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and abuse. Jenna gives extra attention to concerns related to pregnancy, childbirth, postpartum adjustment, and women's health issues. She also works with people affected by domestic violence and sexual assault.
Jenna uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow each person’s pace and priorities. She also brings Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which can help identify unhelpful thoughts and try small changes in behavior. Sessions focus on practical steps someone can try between meetings, not abstract theory.
In sessions she emphasizes listening first, then helping people name priorities and set small goals. Conversations are straightforward and focused on everyday changes that reduce distress and increase coping. Jenna encourages strengths people already have and helps turn them into tools for moving forward.
If someone is unsure where to start, Jenna helps them map immediate concerns and plan the next steps. She values collaboration and works with each person to adapt the approach to their goals and life situation.
How client-centered and CBT work online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and following the person's priorities. It aims to help people clarify what matters to them and to use their own strengths to make changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is more structured and helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try small behavior experiments to reduce distress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna will work together with each person to choose how much of a client-centered stance or CBT techniques to use based on goals and preferences. That collaboration helps shape session pace, homework, and short-term goals.
Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, and offer flexible scheduling around work or childcare. Some people prefer shorter check-ins when days are tight, while others choose longer sessions to focus on deeper processing. Jenna helps tailor the format and frequency to suit practical needs and personal goals.
