Jenna Moenius, LCSW-C

Jenna Moenius is a licensed clinical social worker with eleven years of experience in Maryland. She has worked in educational and inpatient settings and helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, mood challenges, and addiction-related concerns. Jenna aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for everyday life.

She uses a client-centered stance that keeps each conversation focused on the person in front of her. That means sessions start with the client's priorities and move at a pace that feels manageable. She also draws on cognitive behavioral methods to help people notice unhelpful thinking patterns and test different ways of responding.

Trauma-focused work is a consistent part of her practice. In sessions she helps people understand how past experiences affect current reactions and builds small, manageable skills for coping. Mindfulness techniques are used to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce overwhelming stress reactions.

Jenna works with a wide range of concerns including grief, anger, eating and body-image issues, ADHD, and compassion fatigue. She also supports people facing relationship strains, career stress, and questions of identity and self-worth. Her approach combines practical tools with attentive listening.

People who want clear, structured strategies alongside empathic support tend to do well with her style. To begin, she suggests starting with what feels most urgent and then adding skills and understanding over time. Jenna welcomes conversations about goals and how therapy might fit into daily life.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It centers the client's priorities and lets sessions move at a comfortable pace while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to test new responses and manage symptoms.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to decide which methods to use based on the client's needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation helps shape session structure, homework, and the pace of change so the work feels useful and realistic.

Session formats are not listed here, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It also supports using worksheets, between-session practice, and mindfulness exercises as part of regular sessions, helping skills carry into daily life.
