Background and approach
She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, and anger. She brings steady guidance to complex concerns such as bipolar disorder, panic attacks, and mood disorders. Her work draws on approaches like attachment-based therapy and client-centered methods to strengthen how people relate to themselves and others.
She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thought patterns and mindfulness practices to build present-moment awareness. These methods are adapted to each person's situation and goals. Jeannette has additional experience with issues including body image, chronic illness and pain, divorce and separation, first responder and veteran concerns, hospice and end-of-life counseling, and financial stress.
She aims to be practical and direct while maintaining compassion and sensitivity. People who reach out can expect straightforward conversation about what’s most important to them and concrete steps to try between sessions. Jeannette encourages small, manageable changes that add up over time.
Online approaches that build skills and connection
Jeannette uses attachment-based and cognitive behavioral approaches when working online. Attachment-based work helps people understand patterns in how they relate to others and themselves, which can improve trust and close relationships. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, panic, and low mood.Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jeannette will work with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and situation. That collaboration may include trying different methods and adjusting the focus based on what helps most over time.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls are good for full conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is low or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can fit into busy days for brief check-ins, homework review, or coping reminders. These options make it easier to fit counseling into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
