How Jeanne Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Jeanne uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and understanding each person's goals. This approach helps people feel heard and makes it easier to try practical changes for relationships, parenting, and self-worth.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more workable ways of thinking. CBT techniques are useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanne works with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and preferences. She adapts tools and exercises during sessions based on what is working and what a person wants to focus on next.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can use focused exercises, thought records, mindfulness practice, and communication skills training in virtual sessions to support progress without promising a specific outcome.
