Hello- I'm Jenna Borrelli and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in California and Maryland. My background is in working with individuals and families. I have extensive experience treating depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship and family issues, parenting challenges, life transitions, and personal growth/exploratory work. I am competent and enjoy working with the LGBTQ+ community as well. Making the decision to start therapy is your first and usually biggest hurdle toward feeling better or making a change in your life. I tailor my approach to best fit each person's needs but draw from the following theoretical orientations/modalities: cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness practices, solution-focused therapy, and positive psychology. Whether you're dealing with being overwhelmed, relationship issues, or cycles of anxiety and depression, I'm here to help. My ultimate hope for all my clients is that they develop deeper self-knowledge, compassion, and develop skills so that they are able to lead more fulfilling and authentic lives. In our sessions together, I'll meet you with compassion and evidence-based techniques so you can overcome or better manage the challenges in your life.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we'll start with a brief introduction and then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me to create a tailored plan for us to work through follow-up sessions.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Sessions are talk therapy and done over telehealth.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My biggest strength is being able to build rapport with my clients. I have not had a client yet that I could not relate to on some level. I am truly interested in learning about you and the situation that lead you to choose therapy. Building a strong relationship with my clients is crucial to me because a strong trusting relationship between client and therapist leads to better treatment outcomes for individuals.
Describe the client(s) you are best positioned to serve.
My preferred client is between 20-40 years old, is open to feedback, and ready to start making positive change in their life.
