About Jeanette

Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Indiana with four decades of clinical experience. She offers straightforward, practical therapy aimed at helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, and addiction concerns. Jeanette writes clear, step-by-step plans so clients know what to expect in sessions.

Her approach centers on Emotionally-Focused Therapy alongside practical tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy. She blends those methods to help people notice emotions, change unhelpful thinking, and make choices that match their values.

Background and approach

She also uses DBT and EMDR where they fit a person’s needs. Jeanette has long experience with trauma and substance-related concerns and brings that background into individual and group work. She helps people develop coping skills, improve communication, and rebuild self-esteem after difficult experiences.

She also supports people facing grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, and cultural or discrimination-related stress. Sessions are designed around an individual treatment plan tailored to what each person brings to therapy. Jeanette emphasizes practical steps and building self-efficacy so people can apply what they learn between sessions.

She encourages pacing that fits each person’s readiness for change. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first appointment. Therapy uses flexible online formats so people can pick what fits their life and routine.

Online support

How therapy approaches translate to online care

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name what they feel and how those feelings shape relationships and behavior. Online EFT sessions focus on recognizing emotional patterns and practicing new ways of responding to strong feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. In video or phone sessions CBT is used to spot unhelpful thoughts, try new ways of thinking, and practice small behavioral changes between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches values-based action and acceptance of difficult inner experiences. Online ACT helps people clarify what matters most to them and develop workable steps to live in line with those values. Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will discuss goals, listen to what’s working or not, and recommend methods that fit a person’s needs and preferences. That plan can change over time as progress is made. Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction and visual cues. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit brief updates or skills practice into a busy day, and they let people keep momentum between full sessions.
