Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins

Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on helping people cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, low self-esteem, and depression. She emphasizes a trusting therapeutic relationship and aims to make therapy feel practical and approachable. Jenna believes healing starts with connection and walks alongside clients as they make changes at their own pace.

Jenna uses Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside other approaches to help people understand and work with difficult memories and reactions. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy and client-centered principles to create a collaborative atmosphere where clients feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy are available as practical tools when clients want specific skills for managing emotions and behavior.

Her work blends person-centered listening with clear, goal-oriented steps. Sessions can include talking through experiences, learning new coping strategies, and trying tools to reduce overwhelm. Jenna often helps people trace where symptoms come from so they can respond differently in daily life.

With five years of clinical experience in Iowa, she has supported people facing a wide range of challenges, including ADHD, parenting strain, caregiving stress, chronic illness, attachment concerns, dissociation, and identity questions. Jenna aims to make appointments a useful part of clients' lives, focusing on what matters most to each person.

Those who want to begin are invited to complete the site’s Start Therapy matching process and schedule according to availability. Jenna will collaborate with each person to tailor the approach to their needs and goals.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process painful memories and reduce the hold those memories have on daily life. It often focuses on stabilizing reactions and building skills to feel more in control of responses. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections shape current needs, helping people understand and change interaction habits. Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and acceptance, giving people space to set the pace and topics of sessions while the therapist reflects and supports.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenna treats the choice of methods as collaborative and will help clients decide which tools fit their goals and comfort level. That might mean combining trauma-focused techniques with skill-based CBT or spending more time on relationship patterns depending on what the client wants to get from therapy.

Confirm the specific session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to schedule appointments around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and letting sessions fit into a weekday break. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn't needed, and for choosing audio-only contact when video would be difficult. These practical benefits often help therapy feel more manageable while the therapist and client focus on the work itself.
