Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins

Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins is an Iowa LMHC with five years of experience who focuses on life purpose concerns alongside stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and changes in family roles. She works with people who feel stuck after a life change, who are wrestling with parenting or relationship strain, or who want clearer direction about what matters next. Jenna uses straightforward, person-centered conversation to help people make sense of symptoms and everyday struggles. Her approach blends client-centered principles with practical change strategies. She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing anxiety, mood, and coping during transitions. Jenna also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and EMDR for trauma processing when appropriate. Sessions tend to mix talk and concrete tools. Jenna helps clients name what feels off, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways of relating. She emphasizes curiosity and collaboration rather than prescriptive advice. Jenna works with many concerns beyond life purpose, including ADHD, grief, compassion fatigue, body image, and chronic illness. She also supports people navigating adoption and foster care topics, attachment issues, and caregiving stress. People who choose her can expect clear explanations of methods and practical steps to try between meetings. She asks questions about goals and preferences, then suggests approaches that fit those aims. To begin, clients follow the site process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How Jenna uses therapy approaches online

Jenna draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT can help with anxiety, low mood, and practical problems by breaking large issues into small steps and skill practice.

She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at how past relationships shape current reactions. That work focuses on noticing patterns in relationships and trying different ways of connecting or setting boundaries.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna discusses goals and preferences with each person and chooses methods together. She frames decisions as collaborative so clients understand why a technique is recommended and how it fits their aims.
