About Detria
Detria Jenkins is a licensed professional counselor who brings 15 years of experience to her work. She offers a warm, kind, and down-to-earth counseling style and sometimes uses a bit of humor when it fits. Her approach aims to make hard conversations feel more manageable for people under stress.
She helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, low self-esteem, and big life changes. Other areas she addresses include communication problems, control issues, guilt and shame, isolation or loneliness, and questions about life purpose.
Background and approach
She also works with panic disorder, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety and phobia, forgiveness, and self-love. Her sessions are interactive and respectful. She avoids labeling and treats each person as an individual.
She draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques, including cognitive-behavioral ideas and humanistic influences, and she tailors a plan to fit each person's needs. Detria has worked in mental health since 2009 and holds a Louisiana LPC, which she uses in her practice. Her background includes supporting people who have experienced trauma or emotional abuse, as well as those facing career and parenting stress.
She invites people to take a first step when they feel ready and offers steady support through the process. Conversations focus on practical strategies and on building clarity about goals and next steps.
Evidence-based approaches for online support
Detria commonly uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral approaches and humanistic-informed work. Cognitive-behavioral approaches focus on identifying patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going and teaching practical skills to change them; this can help with anxiety, panic, depression, and social worry. Humanistic-informed work centers on understanding each person's experience and building self-compassion and clearer direction, which can help with grief, self-esteem, and life purpose.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then try methods that fit. Over time she adjusts the plan based on what is most helpful for the individual.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and suit people who prefer meeting from their own trusted place. Licensed professionals can use online sessions to work on the same practical tools and emotional clarity they would in person, while helping clients shape strategies that work in day-to-day life.
