Background and approach
She listens carefully and helps people name what matters most to them before deciding on next steps. Jeanna draws on techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to shift unhelpful thoughts and build actions that match personal values. She also uses client-centered and dialectical methods to validate strong emotions while teaching coping skills.
Work often includes short exercises, real-world homework, and check-ins on progress. People who come to her can expect a calm, matter-of-fact style that balances empathy with concrete direction. She pays attention to life context - such as work demands, caregiving, chronic health issues, or past losses - when planning treatment.
The focus is on practical strategies that make daily life easier. Jeanna practices in Illinois and provides sessions in English. Her background includes helping people through major life changes, career transitions, and the lasting effects of trauma or chronic stress.
She aims to help clients build steady routines, clearer communication, and a stronger sense of self.
Therapeutic approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that align with those values, which can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches practical skills to challenge unhelpful thinking and to build new habits that reduce distress and improve daily functioning.
Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's lead. This approach supports people who want space to make sense of emotions and to build self-trust over time.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person's needs, and adjust the plan as progress is made. Clients and the therapist work together to pick techniques that feel useful and realistic.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video lets you meet face to face from wherever you are. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text work well for quick check-ins, shorter coaching-style conversations, or for people who prefer writing over speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule.
