About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings eight years of clinical work to sessions. She uses clear, goal-focused methods and aims to make therapy approachable for people who are new to the process. Her tone is hopeful and practical, and she emphasizes empathy and steady support.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice patterns, set realistic goals, and take small steps toward change. Trauma-Focused Therapy is also part of her toolkit when past hurts are getting in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on concrete strategies rather than jargon, so people leave with things they can try between meetings.
Her experience includes helping people cope with depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, and addiction-related concerns. She also supports those managing life transitions, parenting challenges, work stress, ADHD symptoms, grief, anger, and questions about sexual orientation and identity. The practice reflects work done in urban settings and intends to be sensitive to those circumstances.
Dr. Jenerette prioritizes collaboration, listening first, and then building a plan together. She encourages clients to move at their own pace while working toward clear goals. For people looking for straightforward guidance and steady encouragement, she offers a practical, respectful approach.

How her approaches translate to online work
Dr. Jenerette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing in her practice. CBT looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce symptoms of anxiety and depression. Motivational Interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and builds motivation for steps like improving routines or addressing substance use.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to your goals and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Sessions are collaborative and may be adjusted over time based on what is working for you.
