About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting strain, relationship struggles, and issues like ADHD and low self-esteem.
She offers individual therapy and has long used group psycho-education in past roles. Her work has included helping people affected by trauma and people managing co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. Sessions focus on building practical skills rather than only talking about problems.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when appropriate. She also uses motivational interviewing and reality-oriented techniques to help people make changes they value.
Jeanette emphasizes creating an individual treatment plan for each person. That plan uses each person’s real-life situation to set concrete goals and steps. She names practical skills and coping tools as core parts of treatment.
She recognizes how hard it can be to ask for help and focuses on building confidence and self-efficacy. People who struggle with putting others first or living around another person’s drinking or crises may find her experience relevant to codependency concerns and related patterns.
How sessions work
Approach-driven online sessions
Jeanette uses approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR to address persistent patterns and past trauma. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with new actions so daily life becomes more manageable. EMDR works on processing distressing memories to reduce their emotional hold and is often used for trauma related symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process and plans can be adjusted as progress is made.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also let people focus on skills practice between sessions. Ask about the specific session formats offered and how they might fit your routine.
