About Jenna Lapointe
Jenna Lapointe greets prospective clients with appreciation for taking steps toward their mental health and acknowledges the courage it takes to seek change. She centers her work on empathetic understanding combined with practical behavioral strategies, creating a respectful space where thoughts, feelings, and actions can be explored without judgment. By examining cognitive, somatic, and behavioral patterns together, she helps people reframe how their reactions serve them and then practices concrete techniques to meet those needs in healthier ways.
Her approach is client-centered and eclectic, selecting evidence-informed methods to match each person’s goals. She frequently draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Mindfulness-Based Cognitive Therapy, Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), assertiveness training, and behavioral modification when appropriate. Jenna emphasizes therapies that integrate both bodily and verbal processing to support more cohesive and lasting change.
Jenna holds LCSW and LICSW credentials - Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and practices in West Virginia. She earned a bachelor’s degree in psychology from Washington College in 2009 and a master’s degree in social work from West Virginia University in 2011. With 13 years of clinical experience working in outpatient settings, she has supported a wide range of concerns including stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, relationship and family issues, grief, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting challenges, and attention-related concerns.
Jenna also attends to attachment, body image, codependency, commitment and control issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, infidelity, loneliness, and other relational or identity struggles. Although she appreciates the opportunity to work with many people, she is not accepting new clients at this time. She encourages anyone beginning this process to honor their decision to seek support and wishes them the best on their therapeutic journey.
