Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical skills, clearer thinking, and building everyday routines that feel sustainable. Jeaninne draws on several well-known methods to tailor care to each person. She uses client-centered work to follow what matters most to the client.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. For people coping with strong emotions or self-destructive habits, she may introduce elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach emotion regulation and coping tools. When trauma is central, she can use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to reduce the intensity of painful memories.
Sessions also include mindfulness practices to strengthen present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Over time clients learn simple strategies they can use between sessions to manage stress and improve mood.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Client-centered therapy begins by following the person's priorities and building conversations around what matters most. This approach helps people feel heard and shapes goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical exercises to change patterns that worsen anxiety or depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy adds skills for managing strong emotions, handling urges, and improving everyday coping when stress feels overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeaninne works with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and comfort level. She explains options, tests what helps, and adjusts the plan as progress is made so work in sessions stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues while fitting appointments into a busy day. Phone sessions are useful when video will not work or bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions, share updates, and keep momentum with shorter, flexible contacts. These options make it easier to use consistent therapy in everyday life and to apply new skills as situations arise.
