Jenny Ortega

Jenny Ortega was born in Havana, Cuba and works comfortably with clients from a variety of cultural backgrounds. She speaks both Spanish and English fluently, which informs her ability to connect with bilingual individuals and families.

She is a licensed clinical social worker in Florida, holding the credential SW16733, and she earned a Master of Social Work with an Advanced Clinical Concentration from Saint Leo University in 2016. Her education and professional training have prepared her to practice across multiple settings and with diverse populations.

Jenny provides counseling and education focused on stress management and anxiety relief, and she has experience treating depression and other mood disorders. Her clinical work has included supporting vulnerable groups such as older adults, children and adolescents on the autism spectrum, survivors of physical and sexual abuse, and members of the LGBTQ+ community.

She has a strong interest in working with women and children who have experienced trauma, and she prioritizes building trust while being attentive to each client’s specific needs. Her primary training includes Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), client-centered approaches, and solution-focused therapy, and she often integrates techniques from multiple models to create an eclectic, holistic approach.

Jenny continues to expand her skills through ongoing research and professional training. She meets clients where they are and provides support through the methods they prefer, whether video, talk, or text. She aims to teach practical skills that can make daily life more manageable and considers it a privilege to accompany clients on their journey toward improved well-being.
