About Jeanne
She takes a whole-person approach that looks at emotions, thinking patterns, relationships, and life routines. Common topics she supports include self-esteem, panic, guilt and shame, and wounds from past abuse or family-of-origin issues. Women’s issues are also a named focus in her practice.
Jeanne often uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow what matters most to each person. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to spot unhelpful thinking and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for managing emotion and crisis moments. When trauma is a central concern, she may include EMDR-style work as part of a careful plan.
Her background includes study in applied behavioral science and developmental psychology, and years working with people facing addiction and trauma. Jeanne emphasizes recovery and personal growth across emotional, social, physical, and spiritual realms. She encourages realistic goals and steady progress rather than quick fixes.
To begin, prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire. Scheduling is arranged according to therapist availability and the subscription model used by the service.
Approaches that translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client’s priorities. It helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to reduce anxiety and depressive patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for regulating strong emotions and managing crises in step-by-step ways.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and try methods that fit. Over time the plan can shift based on what helps most and what a person is comfortable doing.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are set by the service. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use video or phone in ways that match their technology and schedule. Licensed professionals work with each person to find the best rhythm and method for progress.
