About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 40 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, bipolar disorder, and ADHD. Jeanette often helps people dealing with caregiver stress, codependency, and family of origin issues.
Her practice has long included individual therapy and group psycho-education. She uses practical, solution-focused approaches to help people build skills and make changes that fit their lives. Sessions aim to increase people’s confidence in managing difficult feelings and situations.
Jeanette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and Motivational Interviewing. She adapts techniques to the person in front of her rather than following a single script. That means treatment plans reflect what a person actually needs and asks for.
People who come for help can expect specific skills training, practical coping tools, and discussion of realistic next steps. She emphasizes overall health and wellness while addressing the issues people bring. Her background includes long experience helping trauma-impacted individuals and those managing co-occurring mental health and substance concerns.
If someone prefers a mix of talk and skills work, Jeanette builds a plan combining both. She encourages small, steady changes and supports people as they apply new strategies to everyday life.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Jeanette often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR in her work. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and practicing new ways of responding. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.EMDR involves structured processing of trauma-related memories using guided bilateral stimulation and careful preparation. It is typically used for post-traumatic stress and other trauma impacts. She also draws on Motivational Interviewing to help people clarify goals and strengthen their willingness to change.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as progress is made or priorities change.
Confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. People can focus on skill practice between meetings and bring real-life examples from home to sessions for immediate discussion.
