About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, trauma, parenting strain, and related concerns such as codependency and attachment issues. Jeanette uses straightforward talk and practical skills to help people manage day-to-day challenges.
She has worked with people who are justice impacted and those who are not, helping with substance use struggles, panic, and the fallout from relationship loss. Her style is grounded in a person-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused outlook. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a strong influence in her work.
Sessions often include mindfulness exercises, attention to small wins, and a bit of humor when it fits. She describes therapy as collaborative and believes clients are the experts on their own lives. The aim is to set clear goals and create actionable plans toward them.
Jeanette emphasizes practical tools for coping, emotional regulation, and communication. She also addresses patterns like control issues, commitment fears, and problems tied to abandonment or narcissistic dynamics. Her approach blends emotional exploration with skill-building.
For people juggling work, parenting, or caregiving, she focuses on achievable changes rather than big, vague promises. Prospective clients are invited to reflect on goals before the first session and to use therapy as a place to try new ways of responding to old problems.
How sessions work
How Jeanette brings ACT, CBT and client-centered work online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It focuses on values and small committed actions to move toward the life someone cares about. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses clear exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening and respect, giving clients space to lead the conversation and find their own solutions.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeanette will discuss goals and try methods that match a person’s needs and preferences. Together they decide whether to emphasize skills training, emotional processing, or values-based actions as therapy progresses.
The original biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions around work, caregiving, or busy weekends. Video sessions let people use screen-based worksheets and practice skills in the moment. Phone sessions can be shorter check-ins and fit into a lunch break or a quieter hour. The focus is on practical ways to use therapy tools in everyday life, not on any single promised outcome.
