About Jeanna
Jeanna keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical change. She listens first, then helps people name what feels most urgent. Together they set small, doable goals and practice new skills between sessions. Her style is warm and direct, with an emphasis on building self‑compassion and better communication.
Her approach draws on Trauma-Focused Therapy alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and client-centered work. This mix lets her tailor methods to each person’s needs, whether the goal is coping with painful memories or reducing daily anxiety. She invites curiosity about what helps and adjusts as people report progress.
Jeanna has worked for 12 years with adults in Illinois, including people managing long-term health concerns and workplace stress. She focuses on helping people recover a sense of agency after difficult experiences and on practical steps for everyday life. Sessions emphasize skills that can be used right away.
People who choose her can expect a calm, collaborative process. She aims to help people feel less alone with hard feelings and more capable of moving forward. To start, she asks people to identify what matters most to them and then builds a plan around those priorities.
How therapeutic approaches shape online care
Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people address and process painful memories in a paced way, with techniques that reduce the hold those experiences have on daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking action toward them, even when strong emotions are present. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes a respectful, nonjudgmental space where people are heard and supported as they find their own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will partner with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That process is collaborative and can change over time as people notice what helps them most.
Session formats and technical details are not listed in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, shorten commute time, and allow for a quick check-in during a lunch break. Others appreciate options that reduce the need to be on camera or that work better with limited internet bandwidth. Discussing these practical preferences during the initial scheduling step helps tailor how sessions will run.
