About Jeanna
Jeanna Bradley is a licensed therapist based in Illinois who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She draws on 12 years of clinical experience to guide clients through difficult life changes and relationship challenges.

She listens first to understand each person’s history and current struggles. Sessions typically focus on identifying patterns that cause pain and testing small changes that improve mood and functioning.
Background and approach
Jeanna uses clear tools for managing intense feelings and building steady routines that support recovery. She blends several approaches to match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy methods help break unhelpful thinking and behavior cycles.
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy supports finding personal values and taking workable steps toward them. Client-centered techniques keep the conversation grounded in what matters most to the client. Jeanna also integrates skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotions feel overwhelming.
This adds practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance strategies people can use in the moment. Her aim is to offer methods that feel doable between sessions. People often come for help with parenting strain, work stress, grief, chronic health challenges, or questions about intimacy and self-worth.
Jeanna frames therapy as collaborative problem solving, not judgement. She helps people make clear, manageable plans for change and practice new ways of coping outside the office.
How her methods translate to online therapy
Jeanna commonly uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in sessions. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice what truly matters to them and take small steps toward those values, which can reduce the power of anxious thoughts. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to improve mood and functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanna treats the choice of method as a collaboration, adjusting techniques based on the person’s goals, comfort level, and how they respond. She will check in and tweak strategies so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for full sessions and visual cues. Phone can be a good option when bandwidth or camera use is difficult. Live chat and texting offer shorter check-ins, coach-style support, and a way to practice skills between sessions. These options aim to make consistent work on anxiety and stress more manageable within a busy life.
