About Jena

Jena Ourso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) practicing in Louisiana with 11 years of professional experience supporting individuals and families through a wide range of challenges. They combine clinical training with a compassionate, nonjudgmental approach to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, bipolar mood concerns, addictions, and grief. Jena also brings experience working with trauma and abuse, PTSD, ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and complex issues such as codependency, relationship and family struggles, and grief after loss.

Jena works collaboratively with each person to tailor therapy to their unique needs, using evidence-informed methods to address parenting and communication difficulties, anger, low self-esteem, and coping with life changes. They have focused experience supporting LGBTQ clients and those navigating BDSM and kink related matters, as well as people facing chronic pain, caregiving strain, or compassion fatigue. Jena emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and practical strategies so clients can pursue the outcomes they want from therapy. Taking the first step to begin care is meaningful, and Jena aims to make that step feel supported and purposeful for every person who reaches out.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jena commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Attachment-Based Therapy to guide their work. ACT helps clients clarify what matters most to them and develop practical skills to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking steps toward meaningful goals - it is often useful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Attachment-Based Therapy explores how early relationships shape current patterns in relationships and emotional responses, helping people address attachment injuries, communication problems, and difficulties with intimacy and trust.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and Jena takes a collaborative stance - they will work with each person to identify which methods best fit the client’s needs, goals, and preferences, and adapt the plan over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with Jena is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility for a range of schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care during busy periods, manage transportation or mobility constraints, and access consistent support from licensed professionals when addressing stress, mood concerns, trauma recovery, relationship work, and other issues.
