How Jeanette works
Sessions emphasize clear tools, small goals, and steady progress. Jeanette has long worked with people affected by substance use alongside mental health concerns. She provides individual therapy and group psycho-education formats, and she builds treatment plans around each person’s unique situation.
That means therapy centers on what’s happening in a client’s life now and what they want to change. Her approach is practical and solution-oriented. People leave sessions with specific coping techniques for panic, mood swings, grief, parenting stress, or relationship communication problems.
She pays attention to cultural and life-context factors that shape each person’s experience. Beginning therapy with Jeanette starts by identifying immediate concerns and making small, achievable steps. She supports people who want to reduce harmful patterns, manage strong emotions, rebuild confidence, or adjust after loss.
The focus is on usable skills and measurable progress.

Online support options
How evidence-based approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that reflect their values. It can be useful for anxiety, low mood, and life changes by focusing on what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and then teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, panic, and mood regulation. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that supports processing distressing memories and reducing their emotional hold. It can help with post-traumatic stress and other trauma reactions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person's goals, needs, and comfort level. Treatment plans can shift as progress is made or new priorities emerge, and the choice of techniques is discussed together.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and guided skill practice. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a work break or a busy day. Live chat and messaging are useful for short check-ins, coaching on coping skills, or steady support between longer sessions. These formats make it easier to access care from different places and schedules.
