About Jinan

Jinan Amra is a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist with 16 years of clinical experience who primarily works with adults.

Background and approach

She practices in Texas and brings a collaborative, solution-oriented mindset to sessions, helping people address stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, anger, intimacy-related issues, parenting challenges, career transitions, and other life changes.

She integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Narrative Therapy principles to tailor interventions to each person’s needs. Jinan emphasizes clients' existing strengths and resources and prefers brief systemic, solution-focused work that sets clear goals and practical steps toward change.

Her style is warm, empathetic, and non-judgmental, with attention to each client’s story and context. Fluent in English, Spanish, and Arabic, she accepts international clients and offers a range of session formats.

Licensed in Florida and Texas (FL LMFT MT2971, TX LMFT 202724), she encourages a collaborative process that honors individual differences and supports movement toward meaningful, achievable outcomes.

Evidence-Informed Approaches Available Remotely

Jinan uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and change patterns of behavior that contribute to stress, anxiety, and depression, offering practical skills for day-to-day challenges. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which encourages values-based action and acceptance strategies to reduce struggle with difficult emotions and increase psychological flexibility. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness are focal points, teaching concrete tools for managing intense feelings.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, adjusting methods as the work unfolds so therapy remains responsive and goal-directed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible access regardless of location. This range of formats makes it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to continue care from different places, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver tailored, practical interventions that align with each client’s needs.
