About Jeanette

Jeanette Garza is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship strain, grief, and life changes. She has a long history supporting those facing major transitions and intense emotional moments. She writes plainly and listens closely so people feel heard and respected.

Jeanette has worked in California for many years, primarily supporting people after childbirth and during other big life adjustments. She has experience helping those who have faced birth trauma or who had a medically fragile baby in a neonatal intensive care unit.

Background and approach

That background informs how she helps people cope with sudden change and ongoing stress. In sessions she creates a calm, nonjudgmental space for people to talk through painful feelings. She focuses on practical steps that reduce daily overwhelm.

Conversations can include making sense of guilt and shame, finding small ways to forgive, and clarifying life purpose. She brings 25 years of experience as a licensed clinical social worker, LCSW, to her work. That history includes long-term practice with perinatal concerns and life transitions.

Jeanette tailors each conversation to the person in front of her rather than using one fixed approach. People who meet with her can expect straightforward guidance and honest, steady support. She emphasizes coping strategies you can try between sessions.

The focus is on manageable change and clearer next steps, not on pressure or quick fixes.

Online support

Approaches that guide online sessions

Jeanette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage difficult feelings and life changes. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and practical strategies to reduce daily stress and manage anxiety. This involves learning small behavioral changes and breathing or grounding practices that can be used when feeling overwhelmed.

Another approach emphasizes processing grief, guilt, and shame by talking through painful memories and changing unhelpful self-judgments. That work helps people make sense of loss and take steps toward forgiveness and renewed purpose.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most useful, then adjust methods as needed. This collaborative process helps find a way of working that fits each person.

Online formats available include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people meet face to face when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and work well when video isn’t possible. Live chat or text messaging can fit into a busy day for brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a varied schedule and reach a licensed professional from different locations.
