Background and approach

When trauma is involved she may include eye movement desensitization and reprocessing and mindfulness practices to help process upsetting memories and reduce distress. Treatment plans are adjusted to match each person's situation and pace. Jeaninne emphasizes collaboration and motivation.

She supports clients in building confidence and new habits rather than only talking about problems. Progress is measured in small, concrete changes that feel useful in daily life. She practices as an LCSW - Licensed Clinical Social Worker - in Florida.

Approaches and online care that fit your life

Jeaninne draws from client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and building goals together so clients feel heard and respected. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and decide practical next steps.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and introduces specific skills to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often helpful for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching concrete coping tools.

When trauma is present she may use eye movement desensitization and reprocessing to help process distressing memories, along with mindfulness practices to reduce reactivity and support emotional regulation. These options are introduced when they match a client’s situation and readiness.

Deciding which approach to try is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk through goals, preferences, and past experiences to find the best fit. Plans are adjusted as progress is made so the work stays relevant and helpful.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for deeper conversations and skill practice, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can be a shorter check-in, and text messaging lets you share thoughts between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy routines and different life demands.
