About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people untangle everyday struggles and find practical ways forward.
Her approach is warm and straightforward, aimed at people who are new to therapy as well as those who've tried it before. She draws on Motivational Interviewing to help clients find their own reasons for change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to spot unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Background and approach
Trauma-focused approaches are applied when past events continue to affect current life. In sessions she works to create a calm, focused space for setting goals and practicing small changes. Many clients bring concerns like anxiety, depression, stress, grief, addiction, anger, or difficulties with self-esteem and career decisions.
Parenting and relationship challenges are also common topics she addresses with individuals. Dr. Jenerette has practiced in urban settings and is familiar with the pressures those environments can create.
She prefers clear, practical steps and collaborative planning over abstract explanations. Clients can expect a mix of skill-building, problem-solving, and empathic listening. She offers online formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging to fit different schedules.
Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire helps pair a person with the right schedule and timing.

Practical Approaches for Online Parenting Support
Dr. Jenerette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing as central tools in online sessions. CBT helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to change how they feel and act. Motivational Interviewing focuses on finding a person’s own reasons for change and building momentum for those goals.She also applies Trauma-Focused Therapy when past events continue to shape daily life. This approach works on processing traumatic memories and reducing their impact so people can move toward clearer decision making and steadier emotional reactions.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work together. She collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and comfort levels. Video calls let people work face to face from wherever they are. Phone sessions can be a good fit when lower bandwidth or hands-free conversations are needed. Live chat and text messaging allow for shorter check-ins, ongoing support between sessions, and flexibility during busy days.
