About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, stress, grief, addiction, depression, and life transitions. Her style is approachable and down-to-earth, with an emphasis on practical steps people can use right away.
She uses a person-centered, strengths-based outlook. That means sessions start from what’s already working for someone and build from there. She draws heavily on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and also uses mindfulness, humor, and gratitude to make change feel doable.
Background and approach
Jeanette has eight years of clinical experience. She has worked with people affected by trauma, addiction, and loss, including those who have been involved with the justice system. She aims to create a calm and respectful space where clients can name goals and practice small, steady steps toward them.
In sessions she helps people sort out panic or chronic worry, manage impulses and addictive behaviors, and cope with grief or major life changes. She also supports people dealing with relationship challenges, communication problems, and work-related stress. Her approach is collaborative.
She helps clients identify goals and then designs realistic plans to reach them. Many clients use skills learned in sessions between meetings, so progress continues outside the appointment time.
How specific approaches fit with online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts without getting stuck in them and clarify what matters most. It can be useful for ongoing anxiety, stress, and when someone wants to build a life guided by values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce panic, worry, and depressive patterns.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals and preferences and together decide which techniques to try first. That collaborative process may mix ACT and CBT tools along with person-centered listening to shape a plan that fits the client’s needs.
Online sessions can be held by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different situations. Video calls are useful for deeper conversation and skill practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or scheduling make video harder. Live chat and text-based messaging can provide brief check-ins, coaching between appointments, or a way to process steps after a session. These options help people fit therapy into busy routines and keep continuity of care when attending in person is difficult.
