Jena Ourso

Jena Ourso is an LCSW based in Louisiana who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, mood disorders, and substance use concerns. Jena also supports people navigating ADHD, autism, LGBTQ issues, and challenges related to kink and BDSM. They approach each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.

Jena uses straightforward, team-based work. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client. Dialog and goals are shaped to each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

With 11 years of experience, Jena brings practical tools for coping and change. Clients can expect help with emotion regulation, relationship issues, and building routines that reduce stress. Therapy also addresses grief, trauma, and substance-related difficulties with clear steps and skills practice.

Jena draws on several therapy methods to match the work to the person. Techniques include cognitive approaches to shift unhelpful thinking, acceptance-based strategies to make space for difficult feelings, and attachment-focused work to improve connection and trust.

People looking for support will find a therapist who listens and adapts the plan as progress unfolds. Jena emphasizes collaboration, so goals and pacing are set together. The first steps are simple and meant to make beginning therapy less overwhelming.

How therapy approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward the life they want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior to build practical skills for reducing anxiety and improving mood. It often involves short exercises between sessions to practice new ways of responding. Attachment-Based Therapy concentrates on how relationships shape emotional safety and trust, and it helps people change patterns that affect closeness and communication.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and how they respond to different methods. Together they will pick or blend approaches so treatment fits the client’s needs and pace.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, cut down travel time, and allow quieter check-ins that don't require being on camera. It also supports continuity of care after major life changes, since sessions can be scheduled to match a person’s routine rather than require extra commuting.
