About Detria
Detria Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 15 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also addresses issues such as communication problems, control struggles, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and feelings of isolation.
Her style is straightforward and person-centered. She keeps conversations real and uses gentle humor when it fits. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between meetings, and on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going.
Detria blends approaches rather than sticking to one method. She uses elements of cognitive-behavioral methods to spot and change thoughts and reactions. She also draws on humanistic ideas to center the person’s values and strengths while they work through difficult emotions.
People who have faced trauma or emotional abuse are among those she has supported. She also has experience helping people with work stress, parenting challenges, and conditions such as OCD and ADHD when these come up in therapy conversations.
Sessions aim to be interactive and respectful. The therapist avoids labels and works with each person to set reasonable, concrete goals. She asks what matters most to the person, then builds a plan with steps that can fit into everyday life.
How evidence-based approaches shape online sessions
Detria mentions using cognitive-behavioral ideas and humanistic methods as part of her work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on spotting and testing unhelpful thoughts and on changing behaviors that keep distress going; they are often used for anxiety, panic, and negative self-talk. Humanistic-informed work centers a person’s values and strengths, supporting clearer choices and increased self-acceptance when shame or guilt feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with the client about what feels most useful and adapt techniques to each person’s goals and preferences. That means trying things, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than offering a fixed protocol from the start.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a work break, avoid travel time, and choose a quieter setting. Some formats need less bandwidth or do not require being on camera, which can be helpful for short check-ins or days when being on screen is difficult. Licensed professionals can work with clients to decide which rhythm and format best fit their life and goals.
