About Jenny
Jenny Cortez is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in California with 14 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. Jenny speaks English and Spanish and works with people who want practical ways to feel steadier day to day.
In sessions she uses straightforward tools to address overwhelming thoughts and habits. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice patterns of thinking and test new ways of responding. Solution-Focused work encourages small, concrete steps toward goals and highlights what is already working.
Jenny places attention on clear, manageable goals. She helps people break problems into smaller pieces and try small experiments between meetings. Conversations tend to be direct, with ideas to practice and check back on the next session.
She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, forgiveness, mood disorders, panic attacks, self-love, and social anxiety. Jenny draws on her years of practice to offer realistic strategies for these concerns and to adjust methods as needs change.
Her approach is practical and action-oriented. She asks questions, listens for barriers, and works with each person to pick steps they can actually do. To begin, she asks a few questions to match priorities and then sets an initial plan for the first sessions.
BHow sessions work
How CBT and Solution-Focused Work Online
Jenny uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. CBT usually involves noticing automatic thoughts, testing them in real life, and practicing new behavior between sessions. Solution-Focused Therapy concentrates on small, practical steps and building on what already helps. It can be useful for moving past a stuck point and creating short-term goals.Choosing the right approach is part of the first conversations. The therapist will work with the client to decide which methods fit their situation and goals. That process is collaborative and may combine ideas from both CBT and Solution-Focused work as needs evolve.
Session formats are not listed in this profile, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for quicker check-ins when needed. Some formats also let people skip video if bandwidth or comfort is an issue, or use a shorter slot to address a single concern between longer visits. Discussing how a session will work is part of the first scheduling steps so practical arrangements match everyday life.
