About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom, LMHC, uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people manage anxiety and stress. She brings 40 years of experience working with individuals facing addiction, trauma, mood concerns, and life transitions. Jeanette listens to what matters most and helps people find clear next steps.
In sessions she combines tools from cognitive behavioral approaches with acceptance and commitment strategies and skills teaching from dialectical behavior therapy. She tailors a plan to each person’s situation instead of using a one-size-fits-all method.
Background and approach
That plan often includes simple skills to reduce panic, manage impulses, and shift unhelpful thinking. Jeanette has a long history of providing both individual therapy and group psycho-education in outpatient settings. Much of her work centers on co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns and on helping people recover from trauma and abuse.
She focuses on building coping skills and strengthening motivation for change. Her style is straightforward and supportive. Sessions emphasize practical practice and gradual progress.
People who come to her can expect clear explanations, short-term goals, and tools to use between appointments. Jeanette works from an overall health and wellness perspective. She helps people develop plans that fit their daily life, whether that means managing panic attacks, addressing depression, or reducing reliance on substances.
If someone is ready to begin, she guides them through setting achievable steps toward the life they want.
Therapeutic approaches that work online
Jeanette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep anxiety and depression going. CBT is hands-on and often includes exercises to practice between sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small steps toward the life they want while learning to accept uncomfortable feelings. That approach is useful for ongoing stress, worry, and life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy contributes concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll try methods, track what works, and adjust the plan as needed so treatment fits the person’s life and aims.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face work and skills practice. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat or text messaging supports brief check-ins, reminders, and skill coaching between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay connected when travel or time make in-person visits difficult.
