Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeanine integrates client-centered therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people make meaningful changes. Client-centered therapy offers an empathic, nonjudgmental space that helps individuals explore their priorities and find their own solutions, which can be especially useful for relationship, grief, and self-esteem work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and replacing them with more adaptive patterns, commonly used for stress, anxiety, depression, and anger.

She also draws on solution-focused techniques that emphasize small, practical steps and goal-oriented strategies - an approach that often accelerates progress when clients want tangible changes in parenting, career, or communication issues. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; Jeanine works collaboratively with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences so the plan fits the individual rather than the other way around.

Online therapy with Jeanine is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These formats provide flexibility for busy schedules, allow continuity of care across distances, and make it easier to access licensed professionals from home or work. The variety of session types lets clients choose what feels most comfortable and practical for their circumstances.
