Jeanette Gadeberg , LICSW

Jeanette Gadeberg is a licensed therapist in Minnesota with LICSW credentials - Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker - and 43 years of professional experience supporting adults and families. She specializes in helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and relationship and family challenges, with additional focus on parenting, adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, and midlife transitions. Jeanette brings a warm, steady presence and practical guidance to those navigating life changes, helping clients move from reflection to actionable steps.

Her approach emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and gentle homework to consider between sessions, so insight and real-world progress can develop together. She has particular experience working with women over 40 and with clients facing family of origin difficulties, separation or divorce, social anxiety, and mood or panic concerns. Jeanette values an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and where a path forward is developed at the client’s pace.

Jeanette offers 45-minute sessions on Mondays and Thursdays during daytime hours, requests live video for appointments because she finds it helpful for connection, and welcomes messaging between sessions to support continuity of care. She is accepting new clients in Minnesota and provides services in English.

Evidence-Based Strategies and Online Support

Jeanette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to the concerns a client brings. One approach emphasizes skills-based strategies for stress, anxiety, and mood management - teaching practical coping tools and step-by-step ways to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. Another focus is family- and attachment-oriented work that addresses relationships, parenting challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, and patterns that originate in family of origin - helping clients build healthier connections and clearer boundaries. A third element of her practice centers on collaborative goal-setting with between-session reflection, combining insight with actionable steps to support change.

Finding the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jeanette works collaboratively with each person to determine what methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the plan as progress is made and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules and varied comfort levels. These formats make it easier to access consistent care from Minnesota, attend sessions without travel, and maintain connection between meetings when helpful.
