About Jeanette

Jeanette Grissom is a licensed mental health counselor with forty years of experience. She focuses on practical therapy that helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood issues, and relationship concerns. Jeanette favors approaches that lead to skills people can use between sessions.

She works with individuals who are trying to regain balance and cope with life changes. Her work blends structured skills training with attention to personal values and daily routines.

Background and approach

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy are part of her toolbox. She also uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy for relationship patterns and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing when trauma history is a major concern. Jeanette builds an individual plan for each person she meets.

That plan draws on the person's own situation and goals, and it spells out steps to reduce symptoms and improve functioning. She has long experience leading both individual therapy and group psycho-education sessions in outpatient settings. She emphasizes overall health and wellness as a counseling goal.

Sessions focus on learning coping skills, improving communication, and strengthening motivation to change. Jeanette often helps people who are navigating grief, parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, or process and substance addictions. People can expect straightforward guidance and practical tools in sessions.

She recognizes how hard it is to ask for help and aims to support progress one step at a time. Jeanette practices in Indiana and provides services in English.

Online support

Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care

Jeanette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT teaches concrete skills such as thought records and behavioral experiments, which adapt well to video or messaging formats. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another frequent approach; it focuses on clarifying personal values and building committed actions that move someone toward a meaningful life despite hard feelings.

She also integrates EMDR for people whose symptoms are linked to traumatic events. EMDR involves structured processing of distressing memories and can be adapted for remote work when clinically appropriate and agreed upon by the therapist and client. Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist and client discuss symptoms, goals, and comfort with different methods and then pick the best fit together.

Online therapy offers flexibility for people with busy schedules or mobility limits. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skills practice and emotionally focused work. Phone sessions can be a lighter option when bandwidth is limited or a camera is not desired. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching between sessions, or when someone prefers writing to speaking. These options make it easier to keep consistent care and try different communication styles to find what works best.
