About Jeana
Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a licensed master social worker with 22 years of clinical experience helping people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She practices in Michigan and brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions. Jeana values practical tools and steady support for people in difficult moments.
Her background combines long-term clinical experience with client-centered care. She draws on approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing to meet different needs.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on clear goals, small steps, and skills that can be used between meetings. Jeana often works with concerns that affect daily life and relationships. That includes self-esteem, ADHD, compassion fatigue, addictions, intimacy-related issues, and coping with big life changes.
She also addresses less commonly discussed topics like attachment wounds, blended family stress, body image, chronic illness, and alternative sexual practices when those issues matter to the person in front of her. Her style is inclusive and nonjudgmental. She helps people name what’s most important, test practical strategies, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Conversations are direct but supportive, aimed at helping clients feel more in control of their choices. Jeana works with people who want tools they can use every day. She supports LGBT issues, career concerns, relationship patterns, and parenting-related stress without assuming one single path to change.
The focus is on what the client wants to improve and on realistic steps to get there.

Approaches and how online work can help
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people get clearer about their values and take small, meaningful actions even when emotions are hard. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to relieve symptoms like anxiety and low mood. Client-Centered Therapy centers on the person's own goals and experience, offering a supportive environment to build self-understanding and resilience.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss which methods fit a person's goals and preferences, and adapt techniques over time. Clients and therapist collaborate on goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps most.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people use visual cues and have longer conversations. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth or camera use is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging work well for short check-ins, journaling between sessions, or checking progress during a busy day. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, parenting, or caregiving routines while keeping the focus on progress and usable skills.
