About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with 40 years of experience. She focuses on practical, day-to-day strategies that help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, and ADHD. Her tone is direct and encouraging, aimed at people who feel overwhelmed and want clear steps forward.
She begins by listening to what matters most and then builds a simple plan tailored to each person. Sessions often include skill-building for coping, communication, and mood management.
Background and approach
Jeanette uses methods drawn from cognitive behavioral approaches and other evidence-based techniques to help clients practice new habits between sessions. Her background includes long experience with outpatient mental health and substance use concerns, and she has led both individual therapy and group psycho-education. That history informs how she structures sessions to be practical and goal-oriented.
She pays attention to history of trauma and the ways it shows up in everyday life. Jeanette emphasizes overall health and wellness rather than labels. She helps people identify realistic changes, set small goals, and check progress.
Expect straightforward guidance, tools to practice at home, and a focus on building self-efficacy. People who reach out often want help with parenting strain, caregiver stress, relationship and communication problems, mood swings, or habit-based behaviors. Jeanette works in English and offers a mix of session formats to fit busy lives.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small actions that matter to them, often used for anxiety, stress, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of depression, panic, and mood disorders. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and communication skills to manage intense feelings and impulsive actions.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanette will listen to each person's goals and preferences and then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust the plan based on what helps most, so therapy is a collaborative process rather than a fixed prescription.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls let people work face-to-face without travel, phone sessions can fit into a lunch break or require less bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging make quick check-ins and shorter conversations possible. These formats increase flexibility and make it easier to practice skills in real time between sessions.
