About Whitney

Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Michigan. She brings eight years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people manage depression, anxiety, stress, trauma, anger, and related concerns.

Whitney works with people who are new to therapy as well as those who want to set clear goals and make steady progress. She uses practical, evidence-informed methods to help people notice unhelpful patterns and try new ways of coping.

Background and approach

Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She listens for strengths and builds on what is already working in a person's life. Whitney often draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients spot thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. Trauma-Focused Therapy informs her care when past events are getting in the way of daily functioning. The approach in sessions is calm and direct.

Whitney helps people make small, manageable plans and checks progress along the way. She says hope, empathy, and steady support are central to the work. People typically talk about real, everyday struggles such as parenting stress, relationship strain, grief, workplace pressure, substance use concerns, or life transitions.

Sessions aim to leave people with clear next steps and tools they can use between meetings.

How these approaches work online

Therapy here combines practical strategies you can use between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems like anger by turning general patterns into specific actions. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's readiness to change and supports commitment to goals. It helps when someone feels stuck or unsure about making changes.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about needs, goals, and preferences and then choose or blend methods collaboratively. That process is flexible and may change as a person makes progress.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into busy lives. Video is useful for deeper conversation and observing nonverbal cues. Phone sessions can be lighter on bandwidth and easier to fit into a lunch break. Live chat or text messaging can work well for quick check-ins, shorter reflections, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to increase access and make it simpler to use the methods discussed in therapy.
