Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins , LMHC

Jennifer "Jenna" Nevins is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Iowa who centers her practice on connection and collaboration. With five years of clinical experience, she emphasizes the therapeutic relationship as the foundation for meaningful growth and change and supports clients through a range of concerns including trauma, grief, postpartum depression and anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, parenting challenges, OCD, and autism. Jenna blends practical tools with empathic listening to help clients understand their symptoms, where they come from, and how to work with them in ways that support day-to-day functioning and long-term well-being.

Her approach draws on evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), and eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR), alongside parts work and trauma-focused strategies. She also integrates person-centered and reality/choice theory principles to balance deep understanding with actionable steps - helping people reclaim a sense of choice, agency, and self-worth. Jenna prioritizes cultivating safety, curiosity, and collaboration so clients can explore what matters most to them.

Clients work with Jenna to navigate life transitions, relationship and family issues, chronic health concerns, and stress-related challenges. Her practice aims to create a space where showing up is recognized as progress, and where practical change and compassionate support move forward together.

Therapeutic Approaches Available Remotely

Jennifer 'Jenna' Nevins offers client-centered therapy online, which emphasizes empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so clients feel understood and can explore what matters most to them. This approach supports emotional processing, self-worth, and decisions during life transitions.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical, skills-based method that helps identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, stress, and coping with daily challenges. Additionally, EMDR is available for trauma-focused work - it aims to reduce the impact of traumatic memories and can support recovery from PTSD and other trauma-related symptoms.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jenna works collaboratively with each client to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adapts techniques as progress unfolds.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for scheduling and make it easier to access care from home or other safe spaces. These options can help clients maintain continuity of care while balancing work, family, and other responsibilities.
