Jeanette Gadeberg , LICSW

Jeanette Gadeberg is a Minnesota-based licensed therapist who brings over 40 years of professional experience to her work. She practices as an LICSW, which stands for Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker, and offers compassionate support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, family conflicts, parenting challenges, and major life transitions. She has a particular interest in women's issues and understands the realities and challenges of being over 40 years old. Jeanette emphasizes goal-setting and practical steps, often suggesting reflective homework between sessions to encourage both insight and action.

Her approach values an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared freely. She requests live video for appointments because she finds it helpful for building connection, and she is available for 45-minute sessions on Mondays and Thursdays during daytime hours. Between sessions clients are welcome to message her for support. Jeanette uses she/her/hers pronouns and identifies as straight, and she remains committed to helping clients find a workable path forward through collaborative, evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Support

Jeanette uses evidence-based techniques that focus on clear goals and practical steps. One core element is goal-focused work that breaks challenges into manageable steps and often includes short reflective homework to reinforce progress; this approach can help with stress, anxiety, and life transitions. She also employs family- and parenting-focused strategies that address communication patterns, boundary-setting, and relationship dynamics to help families and caregivers navigate conflict and role changes.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jeanette works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She discusses options, adjusts strategies over time, and partners with clients to balance insight and action.

Online therapy offers flexibility for scheduling and access, allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care around work and family commitments, and messaging between sessions can support ongoing reflection and brief check-ins with a licensed professional.
