About Jena
Jena Ourso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of professional experience. Jena helps people manage stress, grief, trauma, mood disorders, ADHD, autism-related concerns, substance use, codependency, LGBTQIA-related issues, and questions around BDSM and kink. They use straightforward conversation and focused techniques to address pressing struggles.
Jena favors approaches that center feelings, attachment, and practical skills. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. Clients can expect to talk about patterns that keep problems going and learn ways to shift them. Jena mixes Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) with tools from cognitive and acceptance-based methods.
The work often looks like naming emotions that are hard to recognize and practicing responses that change behavior. Jena also addresses life transitions, parenting stress, and compassion fatigue. Problems such as chronic pain, relationship conflict, or addiction are approached with concrete steps and emotional understanding.
Jena describes the process as collaborative. They and the client set goals and check progress together. Sessions can include skills practice, thought reframing, and exploring how early attachment experiences shape current patterns.
People who reach out should expect direct conversation and practical strategies alongside deeper emotional work. Jena works in English and holds Louisiana licensure as an LCSW. The therapist asks new clients to use the site flow to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How Jena uses EFT, ACT and attachment work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on naming and working with emotions that fuel relationship and personal patterns. It helps people notice what they feel, how those feelings shape reactions, and practice new ways of responding.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages noticing thoughts without getting stuck and choosing actions that match personal values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping when difficult feelings keep someone from moving forward.
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early bonds and how they influence current ways of relating. It helps people recognize patterns rooted in attachment and try new interaction habits that feel more helpful.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jena will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That choice can shift over time as needs change.
Practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy day and reducing travel time. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to attend from a quieter spot, choose shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid camera use on some days. Licensed professionals often use these practical options to help therapy fit everyday life without changing the clinical aims.
