Jenna Plouffe , LCPC

Jenna Plouffe is a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Montana with nine years of professional experience. She has spent a large portion of her career working in school settings with elementary-aged children and collaborating closely with their families, while also supporting people in outpatient contexts who present a range of concerns.

Her work focuses on family and relationship issues, grief and loss, motivation and self-esteem development, and the stresses that accompany life transitions. Jenna also supports people coping with addiction and trauma, and she has certification in grief counseling in addition to her LCPC licensure. She approaches each case with respect for the client as the expert of their own story, building on strengths to help navigate challenges and pursue meaningful change.

Jenna offers a blend of clinical strategies tailored to each person’s needs, with flexibility to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. She is accepting new clients, including international clients, and often has additional availability in the evenings to accommodate different schedules. Jenna aims to provide supportive, empowering care to help clients move toward greater well-being.

Attachment, client-centered care, and CBT in online practice

Jenna draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of relating. This approach helps people understand emotional bonds and address difficulties in intimacy, trust, and family dynamics. Client-centered therapy is another core approach she uses - it emphasizes empathic listening, acceptance, and supporting clients to find their own solutions, which is helpful for building confidence and motivation. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) is applied to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering practical strategies for stress, anxiety, mood concerns, and coping with life transitions.

Deciding on the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. Jenna collaborates with each person to identify goals, preferences, and strengths, and adjusts methods over time so therapy fits the individual’s needs. The process is guided by the client’s priorities and informed by clinical judgment.

Online sessions make it easier to access care through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options offer flexibility for busy schedules, allow connection from different locations, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings are difficult. Licensed professionals and therapists can adapt techniques to work effectively through these formats, helping clients pursue progress in ways that suit their lives.
