Jenna Lapointe

Jenna Lapointe is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who focuses on practical change paired with empathic understanding. She invites people to notice what they want to change and to take steady steps toward those goals. Jenna names clear patterns, helps clients understand what their thoughts and bodies are signaling, and then practices new skills together that can be used outside sessions.

Jenna uses a client-centered, mixed approach to tailor care to each person. She often brings in Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, mindfulness-based ideas, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when those methods fit the goals. She emphasizes process work that links body-based experience with thinking, so feelings and memories can be processed more completely.

Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth. Sessions tend to include gentle reflection, skill practice, and planning for small changes between meetings. Jenna explains why a strategy might help and then practices it with the person until it feels usable in daily life.

Jenna trained with a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Washington College and completed a master’s degree in social work at West Virginia University. She holds LCSW and LICSW credentials and has worked in outpatient mental health settings for over a decade.

She practices in West Virginia and supports a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, trauma, sleep problems, self-esteem, addictions, grief, and parenting-related strain. Jenna encourages people to pick one small, meaningful change and work toward it step by step.
