About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with four decades of experience. She focuses on practical, skills-based therapy that parents can use in day-to-day life. Her style centers on overall health and wellness and on helping people find tools that fit their lives.
She draws on several evidence-based approaches to match each person’s needs. Sessions often include concrete techniques for stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, mood shifts, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
She uses what works for the individual to build a personalized plan. Jeanette has extensive experience with both individual therapy and group psycho-education. She has worked with people affected by trauma and substance use in outpatient settings for many years.
That background shapes how she helps people recover and strengthen coping skills. Therapy with her emphasizes practical steps and self-efficacy. Clients can expect a mix of skill practice, goal-setting, and reflection.
She aims to help people regain confidence and repair parts of their life that feel wounded. Her approach combines structured techniques with attention to each person’s story. She tailors an individual treatment plan to address the concerns a person brings into sessions.
Jeanette encourages steady progress through clear strategies and ongoing support.

Using evidence-based approaches in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take steps toward those values, even when strong emotions get in the way. It is useful for stress, anxiety, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors through practical exercises. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused approach that helps process painful memories so they have less emotional charge; it can help people who are struggling after traumatic events.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best based on their goals and preferences. Plans can change over time as progress is made and needs shift.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and exercises. Phone sessions work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter audio check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options allow people to schedule sessions around work, childcare, or other daily demands.
