About Jenny

Jenny Henson is a warm, down-to-earth Licensed Professional Counselor who aims to make hard conversations feel manageable. She speaks plainly, listens without judgment, and focuses on practical steps people can use right away. Jenny draws on ten years of counseling experience and a longer history working with children and adults in school settings.

Her practice centers on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. She also supports people dealing with parenting strain, relationship problems, grief, addiction concerns, bipolar disorder, and attention-related challenges. Money and financial issues are one of the concerns she lists as part of her work.

Jenny uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs. She commonly draws from client-centered work to keep sessions grounded in the person's goals, cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thinking, and EMDR to address trauma symptoms. Mindfulness techniques and motivational interviewing also appear in her toolbox.

Earlier in her career she counseled school-aged youth and their adults, which shaped her practical, straightforward style. She has run a private practice for several years while continuing to support people with a broad range of life challenges.

People who value a conversational, honest therapist may find her approach helpful. She is based in Texas and works in English, and she will discuss next steps and options when someone reaches out to start therapy.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Jenny often uses client-centered methods that focus on what matters most to the person. That means sessions begin with the client's priorities, and the therapist adapts the pace and focus to what the person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is another common element; it involves identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depressive patterns. EMDR is also part of her practice and is used to process traumatic memories when appropriate, often paired with grounding and mindfulness practices.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenny will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps and what does not, so plans can change as progress happens.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how she is offering online care. Many people find online appointments easier to fit into a busy life, allowing for shorter check-ins, sessions during a lunch break, or avoiding travel time. Online work also makes it possible to use tools like guided breathing, cognitive worksheets, and screen-shared resources during a session to support progress.
