More about Jenny
- 4 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
My name is Jenny Ortega, and I was born in Havana, Cuba. I am fluent in Spanish and English, and I enjoy working with individuals from all cultures. I am an LCSW in the state of Florida. I graduated from Saint Leo University in 2016 with a Master's in Social Work -Advanced Clinical Concentration. My training and background have provided me with the skills to work in many different settings with a diverse clientele. In addition to providing counseling and education for stress management and anxiety relief, I am experienced in working with those suffering from depression and other mood disorders. I have worked with vulnerable populations such as older adults, children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community. I have a passion for working with women and children who have experienced trauma, and I am able to build trust while being sensitive to their special needs. I am mostly trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Client Centered, and Solution Focused Therapy, though I like to draw from multiple approaches and employ an eclectic style in therapy. My combined set of skills afford me the ability to treat in a holistic manner. I consistently add to my knowledge base by researching and attending educational training to enhance my professional skills. I will meet you where you are and provide support through whichever means you are most comfortable with, whether video, talk, or text. I hope to teach you skills that will make your life a bit easier. It is a privilege and an honor to join you on this journey to a healthier you!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jenny is amazing. I have come so far in the past couple of years and I could not done it without her.
Jenny quickly came up with the correct path for me to take to resolve my issue. She is a great listener, empathetic and quite intelligent. A very good friend indeed
Jenny has supported me through many life transitions, events, and day to day stress. She approaches each session with care, understanding, a little bit of humor, and a splash of much needed direct feedback. I appreciate that she will draw from her own life experiences as appropriate to make me feel less alone in what I am going through. She has changed my life for the better and I am grateful to have met her and be on my personal growth journey with her as my guide.
Fantastic!

Jenny has saved my life and my mental health in the small time I have known her. She is amazing!
Jenny has been such a blessing and has helped me so much.
Jenny has changed my life in so many ways, I have been working with her for about 2 years and I can't believe the amount of growth I have made in this time. I have learned how to cope with daily stress (work/family/relationship) while prioritizing my own needs. She is direct, generous, patient, and thoughtful, I appreciate that she will give her input on any situation which provides new clarity on a situation.
Jenny has been incredible! Absolutely recommend. Great listener with great insights and feedback!
I have been working with Jenny for a little over a yer. She listens carefully and cares about your concerns and needs. She’s always providing me with a lot of helpful resources.
Jenny is an amazing therapist. She is very practical and reality oriented. Her advice and guidance is always valuable. She’s compassionate but also will share the truth when needed.
Jenny is knowledgeable in the forward approach designed to move towards change with urgency. Practical. She also is a good listener to grasp my situation.
Jenny has helped me grow to new levels I never pictured. I am so grateful for her help in finding the best version of myself
She's been patient and understanding and allows me to take my time if I need a moment or so before continuing on.
She is great, responds fast. Super nice to talk to. Super helpful.
Jenny is simply the best.
She is thoughtful and attentive; always willing to adapt to any topic I want to discuss in our sessions while also holding me accountable for working on my journal and other aspects in my life that I am working on changing. I'm grateful for how she has helped me reach my personal growth goals!
The best therapist ever! In a couple of sessions she has made me see life in a different way. Thank you Jenny!
She is very empathetic and very good at making you feel at ease, very personable
Jenny is hands down amazing! She has been such an instrumental part of my mental and emotional success this past year. She is thoughtful, has a human touch, and very knowledgeable without being over the top. She’s simply amazing!
she is a very sweet person and makes a very comfortable environment!
Fantastic help, couldn’t have asked for a better match.
Jenny has been such help and has provided so much support.
Jenny is a great therapist! She has a lot of varied experience, and I feel confident in her outlook in helping me navigate some very trying times in my life. I would highly recommend Jenny to anyone in need of help figuring things out and dealing with a dark time.
Jenny has been such a great help in my journey of self discovery and through my depression. She has changed my attitude completely on therapy, as I was hesitant to start it back up again. I'm glad I joined betterhelp and was paired with her.
She’s been helping me handle my life through the thick and thin and hearing her advice, guidance, life stories and her knowledge helps me go through things better than I feel I could’ve alone. They’ve been a really, really great help for me and knowing someone is catching up with me through my life and struggles and thoughts with strong insight just feels great. A great person to talk to.
A good listener and through. Supportive. I look forward to wearing with her. Fantastic times and availability.
The best.
Very helpful
Jenny has helped me through the hardest part of my life and really helped give me perspective, give me confidence and standup for myself.
Jenny is incredibly thoughtful and a great listener. She circles back to things we discussed weeks ago, and helps me make connections between my action and my goal
jenny is so supportive and kind. she always listensand provides the recourses i need!!
Jenny has been instrumental to my recovery from a very bad depressive episode. I would recommend her to anyone. She is an excellent therapist.
Jenny listens and offers great suggestions. Much of what she suggest, makes me think and learn myself. She is encouraging and has my back. It feels good knowing I can reach out to someone who cares.
Jenny was very relatable and easy to open up too. I feel like I’m sharing with a friend m. I felt that my situation was too unique and complex and I didn’t think a therapist was going to fully understand what I was dealing with spiritually. I expected therapy to be cold, textbook, and scientific. She broke every stereotype that gave me apprehension about seeking professional help. I really felt a connection, that confirmed how BetterHelp tailors your therapist to your needs. It feels divine.
Jenny is an authentic person and you can feel it. I've been working with Jenny for a few months now, and it has truly been a pleasure. She is very open minded, and she does not force or pressure. She hears you, and the insight that she provides is very valuable. She is really paying attention, and you can tell. I have nothing but good things to say. I think her commitment to learning and exposing herself to diverse environments so that she is open minded and understanding is a plus. Thank you Jenny!
Jenny listens and has such a caring tone to her voice. I am honestly so lucky to have been matched with her, I don’t think I would be this comfortable with anyone else!
Jenny had been nothing but a breathe of fresh air. She is easy to talk to and is very patient. She brings a great attitude and is always quick to respond. I am extremely grateful to find a great person to help me better my life.
Spending time with Jenny these past few months have been really transformative. She’s really there for you and is willing to be there every step of the way. I feel like even when I don’t even know what I’m feeling or talking about she understands and helps me understand what I’m going through in ways I never thought before. It’s like talking to a friend or a relative.
She’s the best! Always very accommodating and flexible.
Genuine, friendly, amazing!
She is awesome doesn’t judge great listener and provides honest and good input to your needs , I’ve been with her a couple of times and I tend to ramble on sometimes ( ok like now, lol) but it all serious ness she is a great therapist I highly recommend her.
So far she listens & challenges me everyday. I like how comfortable she makes me feel to open up. She is definitely a dedicated therapist & very interactive. I love that. She writes me everyday if I write to her.
She is amazing! I didn’t want to ask for help but when I finally did I was matched with Jenny and I’m so grateful I was! She listens and truly cares. Helps change my perspective. Calls me out when needed. I’m completely comfortable talking to her because I know there’s no judgement.
I’ve had a few sessions with Jenny and from the beginning I’ve felt comfortable and understood to continue. She listens and cares about her clients and it’s evident every session. Really appreciate Jenny’s effort and understand nature.
Jenny is an amazingly compassionate therapist who understands the needs of her clients! Very appreciative to be receiving counseling from her.
Jenny is a very kind and understanding professional. She listens and gives advice I wouldn’t have otherwise thought about.
