Jinger Kinner, MFT, LPCC

Hi! I’m Jinger Kinner, MFT, LPCC, and I’m a licensed therapist specializing in OCD, anxiety, and life’s most overwhelming moments. I help clients move through fear, doubt, and self-criticism with both evidence-based support and deep compassion. You’ll see a lot of therapist websites say they offer a “warm and affirming space where you feel seen and heard.” I say that too and I truly mean it. Creating that kind of space isn’t just a tagline; it’s a core value that guides how I show up, both as a therapist and as a human. Therapy should be a space where you can be your full self — messy, questioning, curious, hopeful — without needing to filter. I’m a good fit for clients who are verbal processors and drawn to introspection but I’ll be right there to catch if that goes into rumination territory! If you’re looking for support for OCD, I bring advanced training in Exposure and Response Prevention (ERP) and Inference-Based Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (I-CBT). Together, we’ll create a therapy plan that fits your brain, your values, and your goals, whether that means slowing down and reflecting or moving into action. I also support individuals navigating life transitions, perfectionism, and the lingering effects of guilt and shame. At the heart of my approach is self-compassion. I see it not as a fallback, but as a powerful tool for growth, especially for those who tend to be their own harshest critic.
