Background and approach

Jeanna draws on Narrative Therapy to help people reframe personal narratives and separate themselves from painful labels. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to clarify values and build small, committed actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used when patterns of thinking and behavior need specific skills to change.

In session she favors a collaborative tone. She encourages short experiments, homework that fits real life, and check-ins about what is or isn’t working. Conversations are straightforward so people leave with something they can try between appointments.

Her background includes work with adults navigating chronic illness, career stress, caregiving strain, first responder issues, and aging-related concerns.

Online session options

How Narrative and ACT translate to online therapy

Jeanna often uses Narrative Therapy to help people separate themselves from unhelpful stories about who they are. That approach helps people reframe identity concerns, shame, and family-of-origin patterns in clear, practical language. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions toward them while learning to accept difficult feelings rather than fight them; it can help with anxiety, depression, and life transitions. She treats choosing an approach as a team effort. The therapist listens to your goals and suggests methods that fit your needs and preferences. Together you try approaches, check what helps, and adjust the plan as you go. Online therapy offers flexible ways to stay connected. Video calls work well for deeper conversations and when nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is low or when you prefer not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging allow brief check-ins, CBT-style homework review, or coaching-style support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or medical schedules while keeping the focus on practical progress and steady support.
