About Jenna

Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Wisconsin with three years of experience, Jenna Acker focuses on anxiety, stress, addiction, family concerns, eating issues, and coping with life changes. She works directly with individuals who are managing obsessive thoughts, mood concerns, body image difficulties, or the effects of substance use. Sessions are conducted in English and address a range of related problems including phobias, compulsions, and grief-related guilt and shame.

Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people develop practical coping strategies. She emphasizes working from each person’s strengths and setting concrete goals for day-to-day life. Conversations in sessions are focused on clarifying what’s causing distress and testing small changes that can reduce symptoms and improve routines.

Her work also covers aging and geriatric concerns, intellectual disability, autism and Asperger syndrome, and co-occurring issues that complicate recovery. Jenna helps people think through commitment worries, hoarding behaviors, and the interpersonal effects of domestic violence and addiction. She addresses body image and eating-related problems with attention to how these issues affect daily functioning.

Jenna describes her style as client-centered and inclusive. She pays attention to how discrimination and gendered experiences shape a person’s challenges. The therapist supports people in building resilience, understanding their reactions, and practicing skills that make everyday life more manageable.

How evidence-based approaches work in online sessions

Jenna uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques. Cognitive-style approaches focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve daily routines. Behavioral strategies break larger problems into practical steps, such as gradual exposure for phobias or developing specific habits to manage compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with clients to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is helping and adapt techniques over time to make sure sessions remain useful.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing appointments from different locations. It can also allow for shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed and can make it simpler to maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
