Jenna Elwell , LPC

Jenna Elwell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan who focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, and grief. She approaches therapy with a clear belief that each person knows their story best. Jenna aims to help people build on their strengths and take practical steps toward the changes they want to make.

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each person’s needs. Sessions focus on small, doable actions and conversations that help reduce overwhelm and increase coping skills. Jenna emphasizes practical tools for managing panic, obsessive thinking, mood swings, and cravings related to substance use.

People bring many kinds of histories into therapy, including family of origin issues, codependency, attachment concerns, and experiences of domestic violence or first responder stress. Jenna draws from her work with clients facing these challenges to help identify patterns and develop healthier ways of relating and responding.

Grief and trauma are addressed with attention to pacing and safety, while work on relationships focuses on communication and boundaries rather than on assigning blame. She also supports those dealing with eating and food-related struggles and co-occurring mood or anxiety disorders.

Jenna works in English and brings three years of professional experience to her practice. Her approach is collaborative and strengths-focused, aimed at helping people move toward clearer priorities and more manageable daily routines.

How evidence-based approaches fit into online therapy

Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and clear steps. One common approach emphasizes teaching coping skills for anxiety and panic, such as breathing strategies and exposure-based exercises that reduce avoidance. These techniques help people manage sudden panic and repetitive worry.

Another approach concentrates on addressing addictive behaviors and cravings through behavioral tools and relapse-prevention planning. This work includes identifying triggers, building alternative routines, and practicing skills to reduce use and handle urges. Both approaches are useful for grief, trauma symptoms, and mood-related difficulties when adapted to a person’s pace.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jenna works with each person to pick methods that fit their goals, history, and daily life. She adjusts techniques over time and checks in frequently to see what helps and what needs changing.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different schedules and needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skill demonstrations and deeper work. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or for quick check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are helpful for shorter updates, skill practice between sessions, or when typing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting it into a busy life.
