Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care with Jeanette Grissom

Jeanette draws on evidence-based methods to help clients manage symptoms and build coping skills. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety, depression, and ongoing stress, offering concrete tools for day-to-day challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and problems with impulse control. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) addresses traumatic memories by helping the brain process distressing experiences, making it a useful option for many people who have been impacted by trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeanette works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment plans and adapts techniques over time so therapy remains aligned with what the client wants to achieve.

Online therapy with Jeanette includes video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options that fit different schedules and comfort levels. These remote formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from their home or workplace and allow for continued care when in-person visits are not feasible.
