About Jeanna
Jeanna Bradley helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and the strain of major life changes. She supports concerns such as relationship and intimacy issues, parenting pressures, grief, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD, and burnout from caregiving or demanding jobs. Jeanna is a licensed mental health counselor and a licensed clinical professional counselor with 12 years of experience.
She practices in Illinois and offers sessions in English. Jeanna takes a straightforward, person-focused approach.
How Jeanna works
She listens first to understand what feels most urgent. Then she helps clients set clear goals and try practical steps to feel steadier. Sessions are collaborative and paced to match each person's needs.
Her work draws on several evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice what matters and take meaningful action. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to identify unhelpful thinking and test new behaviors.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are taught for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Jeanna also uses client-centered and existential ideas to support self-exploration and values clarification. That combination helps with coping, career decisions, and improving communication.
It can also guide people managing chronic illness, caregiving stress, or complex relationship patterns. Sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. Costs vary with location and are handled through a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters most and take small steps toward those values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and feeling stuck during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce distress and improve mood. It works well for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving relationships, and tolerating distress in tough moments.Choosing the right approach is something the therapist will do together with each person. Jeanna will talk about goals, try an approach, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process makes it easier to find methods that fit a person's life and learning style.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to give flexibility. Video calls allow for a full conversational visit. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or if being on camera feels difficult. Live chat and text messaging work for shorter check-ins, skill practice, or when someone needs support between longer sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or health-related schedules.
