About Jeana
Jeana De Lay is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, depression, and relationship concerns, and she offers straightforward guidance to help people move forward. Jeana aims to make sessions calm and practical so overwhelmed parents can find clear steps to try at home.
She uses both short-term and longer-term approaches depending on the need. Sessions may include goal-setting, skill teaching, and homework to practice between meetings.
Background and approach
Jeana also blends life coaching to help people set and reach personal or career goals while addressing emotional barriers. Jeana teaches parenting skills that focus on consistent communication, age-appropriate discipline, and building connection with children. Her teaching style is direct and practical, with tools families can use right away.
She works to help parents feel more confident in everyday interactions with their children. For people coping with past trauma, she offers ways to process those experiences while building new patterns that reduce reactivity. She helps clients find their voice, improve communication, and change unhelpful behavior patterns.
Sessions aim for steady progress rather than instant fixes. In therapy she and the client create a specific plan with clear steps and assignments. The goal is a greater sense of well-being and stronger relationships.
Jeana guides clients toward concrete changes that support long-term goals.
How therapeutic methods translate to online care
Jeana uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and problem solving. One common approach emphasizes goal-setting and action steps; it helps people break larger problems into doable tasks and track progress over time. Another approach centers on processing past difficult experiences while building new ways of responding to stress and relationships, which can reduce reactivity and improve communication.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each client to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and daily routine. Together they review what’s working, adjust goals, and pick practice exercises that fit the person’s life and pace.
Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules. Video calls let people use visual cues and role-play skills in real time. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text-based messaging provide quick, written support between appointments and can help keep momentum on homework and skill practice. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around parenting, work, and everyday life.
