About Jenny Ortega

My name is Jenny Ortega, and I was born in Havana, Cuba. I am fluent in Spanish and English, and I enjoy working with individuals from all cultures. I am an LCSW in the state of Florida. I graduated from Saint Leo University in 2016 with a Master's in Social Work -Advanced Clinical Concentration. My training and background have provided me with the skills to work in many different settings with a diverse clientele. In addition to providing counseling and education for stress management and anxiety relief, I am experienced in working with those suffering from depression and other mood disorders. I have worked with vulnerable populations such as older adults, children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have a passion for working with women and children who have experienced trauma, and I am able to build trust while being sensitive to their special needs. I am mostly trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Client Centered, and Solution Focused Therapy, though I like to draw from multiple approaches and employ an eclectic style in therapy. My combined set of skills afford me the ability to treat in a holistic manner. I consistently add to my knowledge base by researching and attending educational training to enhance my professional skills. I will meet you where you are and provide support through whichever means you are most comfortable with, whether video, talk, or text. I hope to teach you skills that will make your life a bit easier. It is a privilege and an honor to join you on this journey to a healthier you!

“I feel “lucky” to have Jenny as my therapist. I found her after completing a short survey of characteristics that are important to me in a therapist. Still, BetterHelp has thousands of therapists, but Jenny brings expertise and experience that make me feel that I am meeting with a trustworthy guide through my life’s challenges each week.”

“Jenny is an amazing person and wonderful therapist. She helped me grow in so many ways and guided me during some of the hardest times in my life. She helped created a space where I always felt heard, respected, and never judged. Rather than telling me what to think or do, she helped me better understand myself and help me stay grounded.”
