About Jeanette
Jeanette Trotter is a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress and anxiety and navigate difficult mood and relationship challenges. Her style is straightforward and respectful, aimed at making the first steps feel easier and less overwhelming.
She tailors conversations and plans to each person's situation. Sessions focus on practical skills you can use between meetings. Jeanette uses exercises and real-world strategies to reduce panic, ease social anxiety, and improve day-to-day coping.
Background and approach
Her work includes helping people handle depression, bipolar-related mood shifts, and the strain of big life changes. She also addresses communication problems at work or in personal life and supports people who want to clarify life purpose or practice forgiveness. Jeanette draws from approaches such as client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and the Gottman Method.
She adapts these methods to the concerns people bring, rather than fitting clients to a single model. Sessions are offered in English and conducted from Illinois. Jeanette encourages steady, achievable progress and helps people build skills to manage symptoms and improve everyday relationships.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jeanette often combines client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to address anxiety and mood concerns. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective, helping people feel heard and guiding them to find their own solutions. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anxiety and depression active and teaches practical techniques to change them.She also uses elements of dialectical behavior therapy for teaching emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when strong moods or panic arise. Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jeanette will work with each person to decide what methods fit their needs, goals, and daily life rather than applying one fixed plan.
Online therapy with her is offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different schedules and preferences. Video calls allow fuller face-to-face conversation, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging can suit brief check-ins or ongoing support between appointments. These options aim to make consistent care more flexible and easier to fit into busy lives.
