About Jeana
Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a Licensed Master Social Worker (LMSW) practicing in Michigan with 22 years of experience. She uses a client-centered style and aims to make therapy approachable and straightforward for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and issues with self-esteem.
She also supports those dealing with ADHD, addiction, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Relationship and intimacy concerns, career stress, parenting strains, and pain from past trauma are included among her focus areas.
How Jeana works
Her day-to-day approach blends practical strategies and reflective listening. She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness to calm the nervous system. Motivational interviewing and acceptance and commitment ideas are used when someone needs help clarifying values and making small, manageable changes.
Sessions are aimed at solving problems and building skills people can use outside therapy. Conversations are paced to match each person's needs, with concrete tools and simple experiments to try between meetings. The goal is steadier coping, clearer priorities, and more satisfying day-to-day life.
Jeana works with clients of many backgrounds and offers sessions in English. She welcomes international clients and uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging so therapy can fit different schedules and preferences.

Online support options
How Jeana’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking committed steps toward those values. It helps with stuck patterns, avoidance, and coping with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful habits and improve mood and behavior.Choosing a therapeutic approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, try methods that match those aims, and adjust based on what helps. This collaborative stance makes it easier to find the right mix of strategies over time.
Online sessions make regular work on problems more possible. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit a short check-in during a busy day. Live chat or text-based messaging is useful for brief updates, ongoing support between meetings, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options give flexibility so therapy can fit into different routines and needs.
