About Me

We can make the right decision today.

My name is Jenna Lennon (MS, LCMHC), and I am a mental health and substance abuse therapist licensed in North Carolina. I have served a diverse range of adult clients who have various mental health issues and concerns, such as trauma, depression, anxiety, and other psychological issues and disorders, as well as those who struggle with substance abuse and addiction.

I actively practice LGBTQIA+ affirmative therapy and am knowledgeable and adhere to the WPATH Standards of Care (version 8) to better serve the transgender, non-binary, and gender non-conforming communities.

My Approach

My primary theoretical orientation is Relational Cultural Therapy (this evolved out of Psychodynamic/ Psychoanalysis Therapy as well as Feminist Therapy), which allows me to better meet the clients where they are based on their past personal, cultural, and societal experiences. This orientation usually involves identifying a client’s relational connections and disconnections, cultivating mutual empathy, compassion, respect, and warmth through the counselor-client relationship, restructuring negative relational images, fostering authentic responses, developing resiliency, and acknowledging and validating cultural and societal challenges.

However, because this therapy does not involve many techniques, I usually integrate techniques from other evidence-based theories based on the client’s needs, primarily Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT).

All sessions are conducted through a HIPAA-compliant video service like Doxy and Google Meet. Although it may feel strange to have therapy sessions through a screen, you’ll find that it’s just as effective (and even more convenient) as in-person counseling.
