Therapists in Jacksonville, FL

Hello! Beginning therapy can be intimidating, but asking for help is such a great skill! I have been a therapist for over 10 years and currently specialize in Obsessive Compulsive Disorder. I also treat Tics and Tourettes, Body Focused Repetitive Behaviors, Social Anxiety Disorder, Panic Disorder, Agoraphobia and Post Traumatic Stress Disorder.

Jenna Froug is a board certified LCSW that studied at Florida State University. This is where she obtained a Masters in Social Work degree. In her practice her patients have self-determination and work towards their goals. She works to empower individuals of all ages in overcoming daily stressors, anxiety, and to develop coping skills using a humanistic and strengths based approach. Jenna's specialties include anxiety, stress, self-esteem, trauma, career, and women's issues. Jenna accepts twenty different insurances including United Health, Oxford, Optum, Oscar, Aetna, and Cigna.

I am dedicated to supporting clients through challenges like anxiety, depression, and overwhelming stress, as well as issues with self-esteem and relationships. My focus is on providing a safe, empathetic space for clients to explore their emotions, gain insight into their struggles, and develop effective coping strategies. Together, we work towards building emotional resilience, enhancing self-confidence, and nurturing healthier relationships, all with the goal of fostering personal growth, inner peace, and a more meaningful life.

I provide an empathetic and collaborative space in which my clients will feel empowered to create positive change in their lives and at my practice. I offer compassionate counseling services for individuals, adolescents, couples, and families to help them change patterns, enhance relationships, and find solutions to live happier lives. I have experience working with clients impacted by anxiety, stress, depression, relationship communication issues, and life changes.

Has someone in your life emotionally abused you by being bullied, harassed, invalidated, or criticized, and now you have anxiety, depression, and/or self-esteem issues? Is the anxiety paralyzing you, creating anger, or making you avoid important things? Are you thinking negatively of yourself, thinking something is wrong with you or you are not good enough, feeling empty inside? Do you have deep emotional pain from how people have treated you? Do you worry about almost everything? Are you feeling alone as no one around you gets it? Is this possibly leading you to emotional eating, drinking or using drugs? We can help you!

Perhaps you're tired of the same old thing: You walk into a therapist's office, sit down and wonder, "Can this person really help?" In my office, I may be the expert, with a PhD in clinical psychology and almost 20 years of experience, but my expertise is in guiding you toward your own wisdom and your own concept of healing. If you struggle with inauthentic relationships that are disconnected, empty or wanting, know that our work is about connection, authenticity and creating a full rich life. Common struggles I see are anxiety, depression and trauma in adults, kids and couples. Bring your family, your partner, even your pets.

I have been practicing as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida for the past 22 years and am also a Licensed Therapist in Virginia, largely with a focus in the areas of depression, anxiety, thought disturbance, addiction, emotion regulation, relationship distress, and self-esteem. I feel many of the responses we struggle with are connected to a traumatic event (or perceived trauma) from the past. Currently, my primary focus has been in the individual/couples/relational therapy realm. I will encourage you to prioritize the areas you wish to address in therapy and then tailor my approach on an individual basis.

I have experience treating a wide range of issues including anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, dating and relationship concerns, family issues, stress management, grief and loss, identity and LGBTQ+ issues, and life transitions. I enjoy working with individuals, couples, and families, and I work completely remotely through a telehealth platform with Florida state residents. Additionally, I am a board-approved qualified supervisor for registered clinical social work interns in the state of Florida. I offer independent clinical supervision and case consultation to both new and established clinicians.

I have extensive experience working with children and adolescents in various capacities across development. I specialize in completing developmental, diagnostic and psychoeducational evaluations. Evaluations I complete are often looking to rule out the presence of diagnoses that include Autism Spectrum Disorder (ASD), Attention-Deficit/Hyperactivity Disorder (ADHD), learning concerns, oppositional defiant disorder, anxiety, and depression, among others. I also provide therapy for children and their parents for a range of emotional and behavioral needs. A focus is given to skill development, both for children and parents.

As a clinical psychologist, I understand the challenges of mental illness and the loneliness and confusion it can sometimes bring. It may be difficult to feel hopeful about getting better. Fortunately, there are many evidence-based treatments that can make a big difference in your life. I offer online psychotherapy to teens, adults, and seniors who are seeking a path towards a better life. My practice centers on addressing depression, and bipolar disorders, anxiety and panic disorders, ADD/ADHD, women's issues, life transitions, and behavioral medicine concerns such as navigating healthcare and chronic medical conditions.

Anxiety, depression, panic disorders, and unhealthy relationships can often be traced back to unresolved trauma, particularly if it took place over a long period of time or targeted your own self-worth. Your story doesn't have to end there; I can help. I've been a member of veteran and first responder communities for over 20 years and I specialize in working with those populations, including those struggling with chronic illnesses and rehabilitative medicine. Prior to counseling, I also served for fifteen years as an educator and developed a passion for helping adolescents and young adults to navigate their pathways to adulthood.

Something feels off in your life. You're frustrated. You're struggling to understand your sadness, anxiety, or anger. You're having difficulty in relationships. You're feeling stuck and can't figure out why. There are reasons for the way you are. The type of therapy I do can help you sort through what's going on and come to know and understand yourself in new ways.

Yesterday is but today's memory, and tomorrow is today's dream- Khalil Gibran. Are you ready to create and live your own story? The one written by you. It's empowering to become the navigator of our own lives. Only then are we truly present. Through exploring the impact of our past, we strengthen our current attachments. Whether you are struggling with relationships, pre marital, post divorce, parenting, grief/loss, work stress, anxiety or depression, we will work together to create a nurturing space to explore these issues. My practice is strength based and trauma informed. My clients describe me as being straightforward and kind.

Are you feeling overwhelmed, frustrated, and exhausted? Do you feel stuck in patterns that keep repeating, allowing you not to move forward? Are you drained because of disagreements and not able to be heard? Are you interested in healing problems with your behaviors? Combat issues like self-sabotage & allow you to learn how to react and respond to individuals in your family, community, & work environments. The ideal client comes to therapy, is consistent, and is ready to do the work and heavy lifting. A person who understands how important it is to process areas in their life that are no longer healthy and need to be addressed.

I see all my clients as products of their life experiences, the families they come from and the world they live in. Everyone has a story of change yet to be written
