I'm Jenna, an Online Trauma and Anxiety Therapist in Naperville

My name is Jenna Froelich and when I was in graduate school learning about trauma, a professor said something that stuck with me: “PTSD is a normal response to extraordinary circumstances.” I was so glad it did, because when I started practicing, I saw so many people with trauma histories getting diagnosed with mood or anxiety disorders, with no acknowledgment of the traumatic experiences that had led to the anxiety, fatigue, and detachment from their relationships and their lives. This approach made people feel like there was something “wrong” with them, which bothered me since it’s NORMAL for our minds and bodies to react to traumatic experiences. It’s because of this that I received specialized training in trauma.

My Online Therapist Specialties

My specialties include all things unhealthy relationships. If you had a rough childhood, always leave family gatherings or phone calls with your mom feeling like you’re in a funk, or if you’ve been in bad relationships that have left you feeling unable to tap back into your life, I have tools that can really help. I’m also a trained EMDR counselor, which gives me additional specialized techniques that can help calm a tense body and mind where traditional talk therapy maybe hasn’t been able to cut it.

What Kind of Therapist Am I?

 Many of my clients tell me they like that in addition to talking, I help to educate them about how their mind and emotions work and break down what they’re really going through. My clients say we get to talk about it, learn about it, and apply it in a bite-sized way that helps them take small, achievable next steps in their lives to break out of the negative feedback loop they’ve been stuck in.

How do I Know When Therapy is Working?

We’ll set goals together and evaluate them on a regular basis so we can change things up or refer you out if we’re not taking the strides forward you want to see. It's important to me to make sure that people are benefitting and if they’re not, to find what will benefit them.
