Grief counselors and therapists in O'Fallon, MO

I am a clinically licensed therapist who works with teens and adults. I support clients who are dealing with anxiety, ADHD, depression, emotional regulation, relationship stress, life transitions, and self esteem concerns. I aim to create a space that feels warm, genuine, and safe. I believe therapy does not have to feel intimidating to be effective, and I often use appropriate humor to help clients feel more comfortable while doing meaningful work.

I share over 20 years of experience after receiving my Master of Social Work degree from East Carolina University. I especially bring compassion and creativity to sessions to assist in navigating the challenges and changes life brings. This might be personal, relational or health decisions, adjustments through grief and loss, changes in family dynamics, marriage and relationship adjustments, past trauma impacting your every day life, a new mental health diagnosis, depression and/or anxiety, adolescent needs, ADHD, or a chronic illness. I meet the individual healing needs of clients through evidence-based practices of EMDR, acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), trauma-focused cognitive behavior therapy (CBT), solution focused therapy (SFBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), Internal Family Systems (IFS) and narrative therapy. My background includes social work in areas of geriatrics, hospice, home health, dialysis, school social work and four years in independent practice. I was an Army spouse to a combat veteran and affirm the gifts, difficulties and ‘moral injuries’ that challenge military members and first responders. My clients have described as insightful, compassionate and welcoming. My passion is to enrich the lives of those who are willing to grow through challenges and meaningful change. I encourage clients to explore their unique personal story, believing that growth is through self-compassion, curiosity and self-inquiry about beliefs, emotions, boundaries, and behaviors within a safe therapeutic environment. My favorite self-care activities include time with my spouse Mark, time with my adult children, laughing out loud, spending time with my dog Duncan, writing, cooking, camping anywhere in the WigWam, hiking, and traveling to new destinations.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 25 years experience in leadership and direct care positions in behavioral health and substance abuse facilities, I remain dedicated to helping individuals respond to and cope with the challenges of life. These include living with anxiety, depression, grief/loss, relationship issues, parenting, or other life's stressors, as well as, the challenges of alcohol or drug abuse disorders. I have frequently witnessed, and believe, recovery is possible and I appreciate the opportuity to assist you in finding the hope, joy and happiness you deserve.

You've probably spent a lot of time pushing through — carrying the anxiety, the grief, the stress, or the weight of things you haven't quite said out loud yet. Maybe you've wondered if what you're feeling is "bad enough" to bring to therapy, or whether anyone would really understand your specific situation. It is. And they will. I'm Jenna Miller, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker supporting individuals across diverse backgrounds — offering a space where you can finally feel heard, not just managed.

I care about real connection, steady progress, and creating a space where you can show up as yourself. I’ve spent years helping people sort through heavy thoughts, navigate big life changes, and rebuild a sense of direction. I won't rush you or force you into a mold, I help you understand what matters to you and take the steps to move towards it. I'm happy to be the calm, steady guide who will walk alongside you.

I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with a degree from Pfeiffer University. I have always been drawn to helping others and consider it a privilege to walk alongside individuals as they navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach is rooted in curiosity, compassion, and collaboration. I strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel heard and understood. I am deeply committed to helping them grow, heal, and move toward meaningful, lasting change.

I have over 15 years of experience as a therapist after receiving a Master's Degree at the University of Missouri. In 2011, I went through extensive training to become EMDR certified. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as well as addiction counseling. In March of 2025 I became certified in grief counseling.

I am passionate about guiding my clients toward their goals with warmth and non-judgement. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches tailored to each individual and strive to strike a balance between helping someone understand the "why" and the "how" throughout therapy. Asking why did I come to be here; what have I been doing that isn't working anymore and how can I go about change? Pain, whether relational or within work-life can be an invitation to make the changes necessary to grow. I believe that growth toward a successful and healthy future is possible with deeper understanding of one's past and taking steps toward change.

I have interests and experience in serving adult clients who have experienced a trauma in the past, relational loss, anxiety/depression, abuse, career challenges and addiction. My training in EMDR and Internal Family Systems have helped me as I come alongside those who have experienced various types of trauma. I have been trained in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy which offers practical tools for change.

If you are looking for a warm therapist who will gently challenge you to take a look at your situation through fresh eyes, I can help. Everyone experiences pain in life. Sometimes all we need is for someone to walk alongside us for a season.

I’ve spent 20 years in mental and behavioral health because I believe people are capable of more than they realize, even when things feel heavy. What draws me to this work is sitting with someone in the middle of a hard season and watching them find their footing again.

I earned my undergraduate degree from Southwest Baptist University and my Master’s in Counseling from Missouri State University. I also pursued doctoral-level studies at Roberts Wesleyan College.

My practice is a space where all of who you are is welcome, whether that includes your faith, your identity, or both.

If I had to describe my style in a few words: warm, direct, and judgment-free.

As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I specialize in working with teens and adults who are navigating challenges such as stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship difficulties.
