Background and approach

She uses a warm, candid style and brings a light touch of humor when appropriate to ease tense moments. Jeannette draws on client-centered work to follow each person’s lead and on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking patterns. She also incorporates mindfulness and motivational interviewing to support coping skills and readiness for change.

Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals that fit someone’s life. Her background includes roles in outpatient substance use treatment, community mental health, and long-term care settings, which shapes a flexible, practical approach. She explains options plainly and helps people pick tools that match their needs.

Sessions cover common life stressors such as relationship strain, career transitions, caregiving stress, chronic illness, and struggles with identity and body image. Jeannette works in English and practices in Washington as a WA LMHC.

How her approaches work online

Jeannette blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice what matters and change unhelpful patterns. Client-centered therapy means the therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and aims to make the conversation feel natural and real. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying negative thoughts and trying small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeannette treats therapy as a collaboration and will discuss options with each person. Together they decide which methods fit a person’s goals, comfort level, and day-to-day life, adjusting the plan as progress is made.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and visual cues. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins or helpful when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text messaging offer quick touchpoints and flexibility during a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on practical tools and steady progress.
