Hello!

My name is Dr. Whitney Jenerette and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with skills and training in evidence-based practices. I primarily use Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy that focus on the unique needs of the individual. During my 8 years of experience, I have specialized experience in several areas including depression, anxiety, stress, and trauma especially in urban settings. I enjoy working with individuals who are new to the therapy process and who are willing to work toward goals. I am aware that it is not always easy to address problems in life and to develop strategies and plans to improve the future so I am here to offer hope, empathy, and support.

I look forward to working with you.

About online counseling

Affordable.
Pay a low flat fee.
Convenient.
Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
Available now.
There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She has helped me become a more self-assured and self-confident person, she helps me learn how to process my feelings and emotions, as well as understand the deeper down sources of my own actions. She is very good about breaking down situations into easier to understand pieces, then putting pieces back together to help me reframe my view of people, struggles, arguments, etc.

Whitney is wonderful! I walk away from every session feeling like a weight has been lifted off me. Not only does she listen and give practical feedback in the moment, she also gives you strategies and “assignments” to incorporate into daily life. She has helped me deal with anxiety, depression, ADHD, marital battles, parenting struggles, and more. I would recommend her services to anyone searching for similar help.

I could write a book on the ways that Whitney has helped me. She has helped me immensely in my journey. I honestly do not know where I would be without her.

Reviewed December 2022

I truly believe i got lucky with matching with Whitney Jenerette the first time. She is my first adult therapist and i love how easy it is to talk to her. It’s almost like a close friend or family member. She has used examples in her life(with discretion) that relate sometimes to what i may be going through or feeling and i love that because there are times when i feel like I’m the “only” one, it’s reassuring to know I’m not and that the emotions that come with those are normal. It was also important to me to have a POC as my therapist to relate to on certain aspects and it helped to let that guard down around therapy when you have someone can relate to culturally as well
