How Jeanne Uses Evidence-Based Methods Online

Jeanne draws on person-centered counseling that focuses on listening, reflection, and helping people find their own solutions. This approach helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and relationship struggles by prioritizing the person’s goals and pace.

She also uses Play Therapy techniques with children and adolescents, where play becomes the main way to communicate and work through distress. That approach supports young people who have experienced trauma, behavioral challenges, or difficulties expressing feelings.

Finding the right approach is part of therapy. Jeanne will work collaboratively to decide which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts her style over time based on what is most helpful for the person or family member she is supporting.

Confirm available session formats before booking, as this profile does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let therapists and clients continue momentum between in-person visits when that is helpful.
