Background and approach

For children and adolescents she uses Play Therapy methods that let a child show what they are feeling through play instead of only words. Jeanne has worked in community and outpatient settings and has experience with substance use concerns, depression, anger, trauma and parenting stress.

Her background includes work with people facing life changes, compassion fatigue, ADHD, relationship challenges and issues related to sexual orientation. She draws on this range to tailor conversations and activities to each person's needs. In sessions Jeanne keeps language plain and focuses on small, achievable changes.

She supports clients in building coping skills, improving self-esteem and creating clearer boundaries. Sessions move at a client’s pace and aim to leave people feeling heard and with at least one practical step to try. Jeanne practices from New York and meets with people in English.

She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat and text-based messaging to fit different schedules and communication preferences.

How Jeanne uses common approaches online

Jeanne works from person-centered methods that prioritize listening, empathy and the client's own goals. In practice this means the therapist reflects what a person says, asks gentle questions to clarify concerns and helps identify doable steps to reduce anxiety or manage stress. This approach fits many concerns where someone wants practical, client-led help.

For children and adolescents she uses Play Therapy techniques adapted for online formats when appropriate. Play Therapy lets a young person use play to show feelings and work through problems; online sessions may include guided activities, art prompts or parent-supported exercises to recreate that process through a screen or during a phone check-in. These methods help with behavioral issues, anxiety, and coping with change.

Finding the right technique is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, try approaches that seem likely to help, and adjust based on what feels most effective. Clients and the therapist decide together which methods to use and how to adapt them for video, phone, chat or text sessions.

Online therapy offers flexibility and easier scheduling. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for deeper work, phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited, live chat supports short real-time exchanges, and text messaging is useful for quick check-ins or brief support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life while still working toward clearer coping skills and reduced anxiety.
