Background and approach

She also uses tools from dialectical behavior therapy and relationship-focused approaches when communication and connection are the main concerns. This mix helps with issues such as depression, anger, ADHD challenges, and struggles with addiction or substance use. Jeannie regularly helps people facing grief, intimacy-related concerns, body-image worries, and challenges around life purpose or midlife transitions.

She addresses practical relationship problems like communication breakdowns, infidelity, jealousy, and co-dependency in ways that aim to clarify patterns and develop new skills. Parenting strain, sleep and eating concerns, and self-esteem work are also part of her practice. People looking for focused coaching-style support for goals or behavior change will find that she brings motivational interviewing elements into sessions.

Her manner is direct but compassionate, helping clients set realistic steps and try them between meetings. Jeannie aims to make each session useful and manageable, so people leave with a clearer next step. Work is done in English and offered through online formats.

The overall goal is to help clients feel more able to handle challenges and move toward a more satisfying daily life.

Online approaches that fit your life

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping clients set the pace of change; the therapist offers empathy and reflection so people can clarify what matters most and decide on next steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety, depressive thinking, and unhelpful reactions. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills for strong mood swings, anger, or relationship strain.

Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with each person to identify goals, try techniques, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Sessions begin with simple steps to see what fits and change course if something is not working.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week. Video lets people work face to face from wherever they are, phone sessions need less bandwidth, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to increase flexibility and make it simpler to practice skills consistently.
