About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and aims to help people make practical changes.

Jenerette uses clear, evidence-informed methods to help people set goals and try new strategies.
Background and approach
Sessions are conversational and focused on small, doable steps rather than long lectures. She listens for what matters most and helps translate that into plans that fit daily life. Her approach blends motivational techniques with cognitive strategies and trauma-focused work.
That combination lets her help people who are stuck, unsure about change, or processing distressing events. She emphasizes practical tools for managing symptoms alongside space to make sense of difficult experiences. People who are new to therapy often find her approachable and patient.
She guides clients through goal-setting and checks progress each week. She also adapts pacing to individual needs, moving faster or slower depending on how someone is coping. Dr.
Jenerette practices from Michigan and conducts sessions in English. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging so people can choose formats that fit their schedules. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a time that works for them.
How her methods translate to online sessions
Dr. Jenerette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in session. CBT helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different actions to reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. Motivational Interviewing focuses on a person's own reasons for change and helps build motivation when someone feels stuck.She treats the choice of approach as a team decision. During the first few sessions she will listen, ask about goals, and suggest options. Together the client and therapist decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what works.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for more in-depth conversation and working through skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging works well for brief check-ins, ongoing encouragement, or practicing short coping strategies. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, and family life.
