About Jeannette
Jeannette Horton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 14 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, grief, self-esteem struggles, addictions, anger, relationship and family concerns, career stress, and compassion fatigue.
Jeannette emphasizes creating a sense of safety in the therapeutic relationship so people can speak honestly and be heard. Jeannette brings a direct but warm style to sessions.
How Jeannette works
She aims for straightforward, down-to-earth conversations and does not shy away from difficult topics. Humor and plain language are part of how she builds trust and reduces tension during work on painful issues. Her background includes work in outpatient chemical dependency treatment, community mental health agencies, and long-term care settings.
Those roles shaped her familiarity with addiction, aging and geriatric issues, caregiver stress, chronic illness, cancer-related concerns, and co-occurring mental health challenges. In practice Jeannette uses a mix of approaches to match what each person needs.
She draws on client-centered methods to follow a person’s lead, cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking patterns, mindfulness to anchor the moment, and motivational strategies to support change. Narrative and existential perspectives also shape how she helps people find meaning after loss or big life shifts. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging.
Sessions operate on a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Jeannette works in English and her credential is WA LMHC.

Online support options
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jeannette often draws on client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening closely and following what matters most to the person. This approach helps people feel heard and shape sessions around their priorities. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and build practical coping skills.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeannette will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and situation. That might mean starting with supportive, client-centered conversations and adding cognitive behavioral or mindfulness techniques as goals emerge.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and nonverbal cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a verbal check-in fits better. Live chat and text messaging allow shorter check-ins, ongoing reflections between sessions, and flexible timing that can fit a break at work or a busy day. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent while adapting to daily life.
