About Detria
Detria Jenkins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She uses a direct, down-to-earth style and believes people can still laugh when things are hard.
Jenkins works with people facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, social anxiety, and feelings of isolation or shame. She also helps with communication problems, control issues, forgiveness, and questions around life purpose. Her practical approach aims to make conversations straightforward and useful.
Her counseling style is interactive and respectful. She prefers clear talk and sometimes uses humor to ease tension. She does not rely on labels and treats each person as an individual.
Jenkins draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques such as cognitive-behavioral ideas and humanistic perspectives to build a plan with each client. That means focusing on thoughts and behaviors that get in the way, while attending to personal values and goals.
She has worked in mental health since 2009 and has experience with trauma and emotional abuse survivors. People who are trying to move forward after a life change will find sessions that focus on practical steps and honest conversation.

How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Detria Jenkins uses evidence-based techniques such as cognitive-behavioral approaches and humanistic methods. Cognitive-behavioral ideas involve identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits and testing new ways of thinking and acting to reduce anxiety and depression. Humanistic approaches focus on a person’s values and personal goals and help clarify what matters most when facing life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jenkins will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques suit their needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in about what is helping and adjusts the plan together rather than following a predetermined script.
The practical benefits of working online include fitting sessions into busy schedules and reducing travel time.
