My name is Jenny Ortega, and I was born in Havana, Cuba. I am fluent in Spanish and English, and I enjoy working with individuals from all cultures. I am an LCSW in the state of Florida. I graduated from Saint Leo University in 2016 with a Master's in Social Work -Advanced Clinical Concentration. My training and background have provided me with the skills to work in many different settings with a diverse clientele. In addition to providing counseling and education for stress management and anxiety relief, I am experienced in working with those suffering from depression and other mood disorders. I have worked with vulnerable populations such as older adults, children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have a passion for working with women and children who have experienced trauma, and I am able to build trust while being sensitive to their special needs. I am mostly trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Client Centered, and Solution Focused Therapy, though I like to draw from multiple approaches and employ an eclectic style in therapy. My combined set of skills afford me the ability to treat in a holistic manner. I consistently add to my knowledge base by researching and attending educational training to enhance my professional skills. I will meet you where you are and provide support through whichever means you are most comfortable with, whether video, talk, or text. I hope to teach you skills that will make your life a bit easier. It is a privilege and an honor to join you on this journey to a healthier you!

Jenny has supported me through many life transitions, events, and day to day stress. She approaches each session with care, understanding, a little bit of humor, and a splash of much needed direct feedback.

Jenny was very relatable and easy to open up too. I feel like I’m sharing with a friend m. I felt that my situation was too unique and complex and I didn’t think a therapist was going to fully understand what I was dealing with spiritually. I expected therapy to be cold, textbook, and scientific. She broke every stereotype that gave me apprehension about seeking professional help. I really felt a connection, that confirmed how BetterHelp tailors your therapist to your needs. It feels divine.

Spending time with Jenny these past few months have been really transformative. She’s really there for you and is willing to be there every step of the way. I feel like even when I don’t even know what I’m feeling or talking about she understands and helps me understand what I’m going through in ways I never thought before. It’s like talking to a friend or a relative.
