About Evelyn
Evelyn (Jeanie) Cosmai is a Florida LMHC with 30 years of experience working with adults. She helps people who feel stuck in relationships, life transitions, grief, anxiety, loneliness, family issues, and career or academic decision points.
Jeanie frames her work around each person’s values and strengths. She pays attention to how faith and spiritual beliefs shape choices when clients raise them. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps people can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods that prioritize the person’s perspective. She also uses cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness tools are used when emotional regulation and distress tolerance are needed.
Jeanie often addresses relationship patterns that include people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or staying in roles that feel limiting. Codependency is listed among the issues she focuses on, alongside parenting, caregiving stress, and family-of-origin concerns. She also supports people dealing with divorce, adoption and foster care matters, aging and geriatric issues, and grief.
Her sessions aim to build everyday coping skills, clearer communication, and better boundary recognition. She helps clients name their priorities, practice new responses, and review what works over time. To begin, prospective clients use the site matching steps to schedule an initial meeting.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely to the person and following their agenda. In practice this means the therapist asks about what matters most, reflects what she hears, and helps clients name small, manageable goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches concrete tools to test and change unhelpful thinking. This approach often helps with anxiety, depression, and decision-making. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, emphasizes skills for handling intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness; it is useful when someone struggles with strong reactions or wants steadier relationships.Choosing the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. Jeanie will work with each person to identify priorities, try techniques in session, and adjust strategies based on what fits the client’s needs and preferences. The therapist outlines options and checks in regularly about how the methods are working.
The site describes how to begin, but confirm the current session formats before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy days, reduce travel time, and offer shorter check-ins when those are helpful. Ask about the specific ways sessions are scheduled and billed so they match daily routines and commitments.
