Jenna Moenius, LCSW-C

Jenna Moenius is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of practice in Maryland. She has provided therapy in educational and inpatient settings and supports people facing a wide range of concerns. Jenna uses straightforward, practical talk to help people get unstuck and move forward.

She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and mood disorders, and she addresses trauma and post-traumatic stress. Jenna also works with issues like ADHD, addictions, anger, grief, and body image. She pays attention to career strain, compassion fatigue, and struggles common to young adults and women.

Jenna draws on client-centered methods to prioritize each person's voice and goals. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to notice thought and behavior patterns and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. When trauma is central, she brings a trauma-focused lens to safety and pacing.

In sessions she aims for clear steps rather than vague theory. Conversations usually focus on identifying unhelpful thinking, testing new behaviors, and developing habits that make daily life easier. Homework and simple practice are common so change can happen between meetings.

Jenna earned a Master of Social Work from the University at Buffalo in 2010 and holds the LCSW-C credential in Maryland. People who prefer practical, collaborative work on thoughts and everyday habits may find her approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on hearing the person's experience and following their lead; the therapist reflects concerns, clarifies goals, and helps the client set the pace. This approach is helpful for people who want a trusting, collaborative relationship and clear, person-led priorities.

Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying new behaviors, and short exercises to practice between meetings. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, OCD patterns, and many everyday habit changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about needs, goals, and preferences and then recommend whether client-centered listening, CBT techniques, mindfulness practice, or trauma-focused steps fit best. This is a shared decision rather than a fixed prescription.

The practical benefits of online therapy depend on the session options offered. Because specific formats were not listed in the original biography, confirm current session types before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, reduce travel time, allow quieter scheduling around work or caregiving, and let people use shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and mindfulness practices to remote settings so the work continues between meetings.
