About Jenny
Jenny Ortega is an LCSW practicing in Florida who focuses on practical, down-to-earth support. She speaks both English and Spanish and aims to make sessions feel approachable and understandable. She often helps people who are dealing with sleep difficulties alongside stress, anxiety, and mood concerns.
She uses a mix of straightforward approaches to help people manage day-to-day problems. Sessions can include skills for managing strong emotions, steps to change unhelpful thinking, and ways to improve rest and daily routines. Jenny draws from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to tailor care to each person.
Her background includes a Master’s in Social Work with an advanced clinical concentration from Saint Leo University. Jenny has about four years of practice experience and has worked with a wide range of people, including older adults, autistic children and adolescents, survivors of abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. She describes her style as flexible and practical.
In sessions she focuses on building trust and teaching skills that people can use between appointments. That can mean learning new coping tools, improving communication, or addressing patterns that hurt sleep and day-to-day functioning. She aims to meet people where they are and help them move toward clearer, more manageable days.

How Jenny’s approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on hearing the person’s experience and responding without judgment. It’s about building a trusting relationship and shaping sessions around what feels most helpful. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts affect behavior and mood; it offers concrete steps to change unhelpful thinking and improve sleep, mood, and daily routines. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches practical skills for managing intense emotions and improving coping, which can reduce night-time rumination and help with rest.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jenny works collaboratively to figure out what fits each person’s needs and goals. She may try a few techniques early on and then together decide which skills to keep using moving forward.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or make it simpler to meet in different locations when schedules change. Because session formats are set by the therapist’s offerings, please confirm the current session options before booking. The focus is on bringing practical tools into daily routines so improvements feel usable between meetings.
