About Jena
Jena Ourso is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Louisiana with 11 years of professional experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, grief, mood disorders including bipolar and depression, ADHD, and concerns related to LGBTQ issues and kink. She also addresses parenting, relationship and family topics, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Her approach is direct and practical. Sessions focus on clear goals and usable skills. She uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral tools, acceptance-based strategies, attachment-focused thinking, and client-centered conversation. Therapy sessions are collaborative and paced to fit what the client needs.
In practice she helps people talk through patterns that keep causing problems. That might mean working on communication problems, commitment or control issues, codependency, or substance use. She also supports people managing chronic pain or illness, dissociation, and the effects of abandonment or adoption and foster care histories.
A common part of her work is building concrete coping tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and planning for life transitions. She draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing intense feelings and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) for values-based action. Attachment ideas inform work on relationships and parenting.
Jena frames therapy as a team effort. The first sessions typically look at immediate concerns and practical next steps. People who choose to work with her complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to begin.
BHow sessions work
Therapeutic approaches used in online sessions
Jena commonly draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying what matters to a person and taking small steps toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns.She also brings attachment-based ideas into conversations about relationships and parenting. That approach pays attention to how early relationship patterns affect current interactions and helps people experiment with new ways of connecting and communicating.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit best for their goals and preferences. Initial sessions typically identify immediate concerns and a plan for which techniques to try first.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time for appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and attachment-focused work to these practical formats to focus on concrete skills and problem solving.
