Background and approach
Jeaninne uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the conversation grounded in the client's priorities. Cognitive behavioral tools are used to notice patterns of thought and change unhelpful behaviors.
When trauma is part of the story, she incorporates techniques suited to processing difficult memories and reducing their impact on daily functioning. Mindfulness practices are offered to build calm and improve focus during stressful moments. Her style is collaborative and practical.
Jeaninne helps people set achievable goals, practice new skills between sessions, and track progress over time. She encourages honest feedback so therapy can be adjusted as needs change.
How Jeaninne’s Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on what matters most to the client. The therapist listens without judgment and follows the person’s lead to clarify goals and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs space to talk things through and identify what they want to change.Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and practicing new behaviors. This method can be useful for anxiety, depression, and everyday stressors.
Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, EMDR, is sometimes used when trauma is part of the picture. It helps reduce the intensity of disturbing memories and the strong emotional reactions they trigger. Jeaninne adapts techniques to pace the work so clients can move forward at a comfortable speed.
Choosing the right approach is a shared process. She works with clients to pick methods that match their goals, needs, and personal preferences. Plans are adjusted over time based on what is helpful.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and have full conversations. Phone sessions are an option when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text work well for short check-ins, skill practice, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and keep progress steady.
