Background and approach

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach concrete skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. Her work addresses both addiction-related concerns and trauma responses, including dissociation, post-traumatic stress, sexual assault and abuse, and domestic violence. She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, emptiness, family of origin issues, and questions about life purpose.

Jeanne has 15 years of clinical experience and works from Illinois. She offers practical tools for panic attacks, seasonal mood changes, self-harm urges, and recovery from drug and alcohol problems. Sessions focus on clear goals and steady progress rather than vague ideas.

People can expect straightforward conversation, skill practice, and a plan that fits their daily life. Jeanne helps people map small changes that build toward better coping and greater stability.

How Jeanne’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so the person feels heard and understood; online sessions let that work happen through conversation whether by video or phone. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and those exercises transfer easily to remote formats through guided practice and homework. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that can be taught in short, focused sessions and reinforced between meetings.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeanne will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals and daily life. She checks in about what helps, adapts techniques, and refines the plan over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet: video calls for more visual connection, phone sessions when bandwidth is limited, live chat for brief check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, family, and recovery routines while focusing on skill-building and steady progress.
