Jeannette Horton , LMHC

Jeannette Horton, LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor), has worked in the mental health field since 2008 across a range of settings including outpatient chemical dependency treatment, community mental health agencies, and long-term care communities. She works primarily with adults and brings experience addressing depression, anxiety, trauma and substance-related concerns, older adult issues, self-esteem, anger, grief and loss, and women’s issues. As a veteran with overseas deployment experience, she also brings an informed perspective on veterans' concerns.

Jeannette approaches therapy with an emphasis on safety and trust, making the therapeutic relationship the first priority. She aims to create an environment where clients feel able to speak openly, and she centers the work on helping people feel secure enough to address difficult topics. Her style is candid and down to earth, and she is known for combining direct conversation with a sense of humor to make hard conversations more manageable.

Clients have often told her that working with her feels "like working with a real person," and she welcomes the opportunity to be a dependable, relatable presence in someone’s life. Throughout treatment she focuses on building a genuine connection while helping clients develop practical coping strategies and clearer insight into their challenges.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeannette Horton integrates Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Mindfulness Therapy into her online practice. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and creating a trusting relationship so clients can explore their concerns at their own pace - it is useful for building self-esteem and processing emotional pain. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and practical techniques for managing difficult emotions and reducing reactivity, which often supports work with trauma, grief, and stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeannette works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors interventions and adapts methods as the relationship develops so therapy remains relevant and practical.

Online therapy with Jeannette is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, balance therapy with daily responsibilities, and access licensed professionals from locations that work for each client.
