About Jenna

Jenna Acker is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with three years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addiction, family concerns, eating issues, and coping with life changes. Jenna also addresses related issues such as mood disorders, obsessive thoughts, hoarding, and body image concerns. Sessions are conducted in English and international clients are not accepted.

Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage symptoms and build practical skills. She works in a straightforward way, helping clients identify patterns, try specific strategies, and track what changes. Conversations will cover daily routines, relationships, and behavior changes that affect mood and functioning.

She pays attention to how health, aging, and neurodiversity shape a person's experience. That means talking about concrete supports, communication strategies, and steps to reduce risky behaviors when addiction or domestic violence are involved. Jenna helps people untangle guilt, shame, and commitment concerns with clear, actionable steps.

Appointments are arranged through an online matching and scheduling process where people complete a short questionnaire and pick a first session. Costs vary with location and sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. Confirm current session options before booking to make sure they fit your needs.

Jenna brings a practical, inclusive perspective to her work. She aims to help people develop coping strategies they can use in everyday life and to make measurable progress on the problems that brought them to therapy.

BHow sessions work

Evidence-based approaches used in online sessions

Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach is behavioral strategies that target actions and routines. These techniques help with anxiety, mood concerns, and daily coping by encouraging small, testable adjustments to behavior and schedules.

Another approach emphasizes cognitive work, helping people notice and challenge unhelpful thoughts. This kind of work is useful for managing worry, obsessive thinking, and distorted self-image. The therapist guides clients through specific exercises and homework to try between sessions.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jenna and the client will review goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. They will collaborate to choose methods that fit the client’s situation and adjust the plan over time based on what is helpful.

Confirm the current session options before booking since formats are not specified in the biography. In general, online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour is not needed. These practical benefits can help people maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and health commitments.
