You already know why. Let's work on what happens next.
ONLINE THERAPY & EMDR FOR ANXIETY, RELATIONSHIPS & TRAUMA
Personal therapy with Dr. Jenna Holden, as seen on CBS
You've done the thinking.
Maybe the reading, the podcasts, even years of therapy. You can explain exactly why you overthink, where your relationship patterns come from, and what your childhood has to do with all of it.
And then the moment comes. The text that goes unanswered. The shift in your partner's tone. The conversation that doesn't go your way. And all that insight goes right out the window.
So, now what?
In those moments, you might
feel anxious and…
struggle with overthinking and decision-making
replay social interactions and question what you said or did
have a hard time setting firm boundaries
feel triggered lately and…
feel less in control of your reactions to certain situations or people
become overwhelmed by things that seem like they “shouldn’t” affect you so deeply
find yourself emotionally exhausted more often than not
notice in your relationships…
you feel lonely, misunderstood, or disconnected when all you want is to feel heard
small moments quickly turn into intense conflict with your partner, family, friends, or coworkers
you keep falling into patterns you thought you would have changed by now
You don't need more insight. You need a different experience.
Dr. Jenna Holden, therapist in Newport Beach
I’m Jenna.
I help adults break out of the emotional and relational patterns that keep them feeling stuck.
Most people who find their way to me already know a lot about themselves. What they want is to feel different, and to know what to actually do when the hard moment hits. That's where we focus.
We'll calm your nervous system so you can think clearly when it counts, get to the root of the patterns that keep repeating, and practice new ways of responding, together in session and out in your real life. I specialize in anxiety, trauma, and relationships — seemingly different, but they tend to travel together.
Therapy with me feels conversational and easy to settle into, even when we're talking about hard things. But it's more than just talking: there's always a clear purpose, and you'll walk away with practical changes you can actually use.
Insight is important. Knowing how to respond differently is where change happens.
Anxiety
Stop overanalyzing every interaction, second-guessing yourself, and getting stuck in spirals of worry. Together, we’ll explore the deeper emotional patterns beneath your anxiety so you can respond to yourself with more clarity, steadiness, and confidence.
Relationships
You may already recognize the patterns showing up in your relationships — difficulty communicating, fear of conflict, emotional overwhelm, or feeling disconnected. Therapy can help you better understand those attachment patterns and begin responding differently within your relationships.
Trauma
Past experiences can shape the way you respond to stress, relationships, conflict, and emotional overwhelm in the present. Therapy can help you process those experiences with care, better understand your reactions, and begin moving forward with greater steadiness and self-trust.
EMDR
You may already understand why certain experiences still affect you — but still feel stuck in the same emotional reactions, fears, or patterns. EMDR helps your brain process unresolved experiences so you can respond to the present with greater clarity, calm, and flexibility.

Schedule a free 15-minute phone consultation. I'll tell you how I work and answer any questions, and you can see if I'm a good fit.
Practice, not just talk
Weekly or biweekly sessions where we work through what's actually happening in your life and practice responding differently, so change isn't just something you understand, it's something you can do.
Feel the difference
The overthinking gets quieter. The reactions get smaller. And when the hard moments come, you'll know what to do.
