About Jeanie
Jeanie Robertson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 39 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, and life transitions. Her style is warm and practical, aimed at finding realistic steps forward rather than lengthy theory.
She has worked with people from many walks of life, including health professionals facing high stress. Jeanie welcomes clients of different ages, races, cultures, spiritual beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities.
Background and approach
Sessions may include conversation, reflection, and creative activities like writing or art. Jeanie favors a person-centered approach that looks for solutions that fit each person. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to identify unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
Motivational interviewing techniques are used when people want to make changes but feel stuck. Practical tools and short-term goals are common in her work. She often combines solution-focused strategies with Internal Family Systems ideas to understand different parts of a person’s inner experience.
The result is hands-on support to try and test small changes between sessions. People meet with her to address issues such as parenting strain, relationship stress, career concerns, body image and eating-related problems, ADHD, caregiver stress, and compassion fatigue. Jeanie also offers coaching-style guidance when a client prefers goal-focused work.
To begin, she helps clients identify clear, manageable steps and celebrates progress along the way. The approach is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
How Jeanie’s Approaches Work Online
Jeanie often uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and building a supportive relationship so people feel heard and can identify their own solutions. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone wants to change but feels stuck; it focuses on strengthening personal motivation and creating small, achievable steps.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist and client discuss needs, goals, and preferences and adjust methods over time. Jeanie routinely blends approaches so sessions match what is working and what the client wants to try next.
Online sessions can be more flexible than in-person appointments. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper discussion. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for brief updates, coaching, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and try different formats to see what helps most.
