About Jenny
LCSW in California with 14 years of clinical experience, Jenny Cortez focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She offers therapy in both English and Spanish and uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy as primary methods.
Jenny keeps sessions straightforward and practical. She helps people identify thoughts and behaviors that increase distress and then works on small, concrete changes. Sessions often include skill building for managing panic, mood shifts, and anxiety symptoms. She also supports people dealing with communication problems, divorce and separation, and issues around forgiveness and self-love.
Her approach balances problem-solving with short-term, goal-oriented work. Solution-Focused Therapy guides conversations toward immediate steps a person can try between sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy provides tools to challenge unhelpful thinking and develop new coping strategies for mood and panic disorder symptoms.
Across 14 years, Jenny has worked with a range of concerns related to trauma, motivation, and confidence. She emphasizes clear, direct conversation and practical strategies rather than lengthy theory. People can expect to talk through current problems and leave with tasks to practice outside sessions.
Sessions are offered in English and Spanish. Jenny is licensed as an LCSW in California. To begin, the process includes completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling the first session through the site’s online options.

How CBT and Solution-Focused Work in Online Sessions
CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In practice this means tracking thoughts, testing ideas against reality, and practicing new coping skills for anxiety, panic, or low mood. It is useful for problems like panic attacks, social anxiety, and mood shifts.Solution-Focused Therapy centers on specific goals and quick steps. It asks what would be different if the problem were smaller, and then tries manageable experiments between sessions. This approach helps when the priority is improving communication, handling a separation, or getting past stuck patterns like low motivation.
Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what seems most helpful. They can adjust methods over time based on progress and what feels most useful.
The original biography does not list session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals commonly adapt CBT exercises and solution-focused tasks to work over remote sessions, helping people practice skills between appointments while keeping therapy practical and goal oriented.
