About Jeanie
Jeanie Robertson is a licensed professional counselor in Georgia with 39 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, or big life changes. Her approach is practical and hopeful, aimed at finding clear next steps rather than getting stuck on problems.
Jeanie uses a person-centered style that focuses on the individual's strengths and choices. She blends this with cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and shift unhelpful thinking patterns.
Background and approach
Solution-focused work and motivational interviewing help people set goals and stay moving forward. Her background includes long experience supporting professionals in high-stress work, including medical trainees and clinicians. She also has a broad practice addressing issues such as parenting challenges, eating and body-image concerns, caregiver stress, aging and geriatric questions, and compassion fatigue.
She welcomes people of different ages, races, cultures, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities. Sessions can include creative tools like writing, music, or art when those methods suit a person's needs. Jeanie aims to combine practical skills, coaching elements, and emotional support so clients can try new responses between sessions.
She encourages small experiments and builds on what already works. People who choose her often want a calm, experienced guide who offers straight talk and realistic steps. Jeanie focuses on helping people recognize possibilities and on tailoring the work to each person's goals and pace.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's experience and choices. In online sessions this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and helps clients spot their own strengths and next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it pairs well with homework and short exercises between online sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's style, and adjust the mix of techniques as needed. Clients and the therapist decide collaboratively which tools help most for coping, relationships, or goal-setting.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and work through exercises together. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is low or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief updates, skill coaching, or ongoing support between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and help therapy fit around work, caregiving, and travel.
