Her style is direct and warm. Sessions focus on practical steps and honest conversation. She helps people name what feels wrong, try new ways of coping, and notice small changes that matter.
Background and approach
Jeanna draws on a mix of approaches to fit each person. She uses skills-based methods to reduce intense emotions and thought patterns. She also helps clients clarify values and make choices that match what matters to them.
Over a dozen years of clinical work have given her experience with many life challenges. That includes supporting people managing chronic illness, caregiving strain, first responder stress, and the aftermath of abuse. She also offers coaching-style support for career transitions and goal setting.
In sessions she balances problem-solving with space to process feelings. People leave with clear tools to use between visits and a plan for next steps. Jeanna practices in Illinois and offers sessions in English.
How her approaches translate to online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions because it focuses on small value-driven steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, often with short exercises to try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers emotion regulation and coping skills for intense feelings and relationship strain.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try methods that fit your situation, and adjust the plan as you learn what helps. That teamwork helps identify which combination of skills and reflection works best for you.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video is useful for conversations that benefit from seeing one another, while phone sessions need less bandwidth and can fit a short break at work. Live chat or text-based messaging can be a quicker way to check in, practice skills, or keep momentum between longer sessions. These options make therapy more flexible and easier to fit into a busy life.
