Getting to know Jenna LaVallee
Welcome! Originally from Minnesota, I just moved to California from Idaho with my daughter and Air Force husband. Due to our recent move for my husband's job, I've switched to providing telehealth therapy so I can continue doing what I love while offering flexibility for me and my clients. I love to read and learn about new things and areas of the mental health world. I so love being a therapist and walking with people through their own journey. I am fairly laid back and work hard to meet people where they are at.
My approach
I am certified in dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT) to help my clients practice mindfulness, emotional regulation, and distress tolerance. This approach helps give my clients tools to feel more in control of your emotions and behaviors. Based on your unique needs, I may adapt my approach to include practices of acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), or other modalities like person-centered or solution-focused. Your goals and progress are my main focus. Together, we’ll identify challenges and work on strategies to help you move forward with confidence.
My focus
I have worked with a wide range of clients and concerns. I most often work with clients struggling with anxiety and depression, however, I have a history of working with teens, substance abuse, relationship concerns, and LGBTQIA+ populations. I'm comfortable addressing many different concerns and working with people as they come. I also take opportunities to learn more about issues I may not be as well-versed in to help me better work with my clients' needs and address additional concerns.
My communication style
I take pride in building human connections with people. I often provide a calm, empathetic ear to listen to you with my whole heart. I can be goofy at times and don't have a problem laughing with my clients at times. I work to make you feel as comfortable as I can, and welcome feedback on what you might need from me.
