Jinan Amra , LMFT

Jinan Amra is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) who works mainly with adults. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, anger, low self-esteem, grief, and trauma. She also supports clients dealing with parenting strain, career changes, intimacy concerns, and life transitions. Jinan speaks English, Spanish, and Arabic and practices in Texas. With 16 years of experience, she describes her approach as brief, systemic, and solution oriented. Jinan listens for each person’s story and strengths. She brings warmth, empathy, and a nonjudgmental manner to sessions while helping people set clear goals and practical next steps. Her work draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), mindfulness, and narrative techniques. In plain terms she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, practice new coping skills, and try small changes between sessions. Jinan believes people have internal resources that can help them move forward. She collaborates with clients to design plans that fit their lives and priorities. That means setting achievable goals and checking progress together as therapy continues. She welcomes conversations about complex family-of-origin issues, attachment and abandonment concerns, caregiver stress, body image and eating related worries, and dilemmas around divorce or separation. Her practice emphasizes practical steps and steady support as people work toward clearer relationships and better coping.

How specific approaches show up in online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then move toward what matters most. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, relationship worries, and life transitions by clarifying values and small steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors. It is practical and skill based, often used for anxiety, mood changes, and managing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for managing intense emotions and improving communication. It is helpful when strong reactions, anger, or relationship conflicts make everyday life harder. Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day by removing commute time and allowing more flexible scheduling. It also lets people join sessions from different locations and keeps continuity when schedules change. Because session formats are not specified here, confirm the current session options before booking to learn how best to set up meetings that match your needs.
