About Whitney
Dr. Whitney Jenerette is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan with eight years of experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and related concerns such as anger, grief, addiction, parenting challenges, and career strain.
She often uses Motivational Interviewing and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside person-centered work. That means sessions focus on the person in front of her, their goals, and practical steps they can try between meetings. She commonly helps people who are new to therapy build a plan and practice new ways of responding to stress.
In sessions she breaks problems into manageable pieces. She helps identify thoughts and behaviors that feed anger and stress. Then she works with clients to test small changes and notice what makes a difference in daily life. The approach is straightforward and goal-oriented.
Her background includes focused work with trauma, especially in urban settings. She uses trauma-focused ideas to attend to how past events shape current reactions. That can include learning grounding skills, safety planning, and paced exposure when appropriate.
Dr. Jenerette asks clients to set clear goals and to track progress. She supports people who want steps they can use right away at home, at work, or in relationships. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Motivational Interviewing is a collaborative way to explore a person's readiness for change. It helps people clarify their reasons for changing habits linked to anger or stress and to set realistic next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the relationship between thoughts, feelings and actions. Online CBT sessions often include practice exercises and short homework tasks to test new responses to triggers.Finding the right approach is part of early work. She will discuss goals, preferences and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide whether to emphasize motivational work, CBT strategies, or trauma-focused elements based on the client's needs.
