Jeana Spencer-Rooks

Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a licensed social worker with 22 years of clinical experience in Michigan. She centers her work on clear, practical support for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and anger. Jeana focuses on helping people manage everyday struggles and find steadier ground during tough transitions.

Her practice is client-centered and welcoming. She listens for what matters most to each person and adapts methods to fit their goals. Sessions often include straightforward tools for coping, communication, and rebuilding self-esteem.

Jeana also brings experience with ADHD, addictions, bipolar concerns, and intimacy-related issues. She helps people navigate relationship and family tensions, work stress, caregiving strain, and changes that come with illness or aging. She names and works with sources of shame or control that get in the way of connection.

Therapeutic approaches she draws on include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, mindfulness-based work, motivational interviewing, and a client-centered stance. Those methods guide practical steps people can use between sessions to notice patterns and try different responses.

Her goal is to create a steady, nonjudgmental space where people feel heard and can practice new skills. Jeana supports clients as they build healthier habits, set clearer boundaries, and move toward more balanced daily life.

How therapy approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice what matters to them and take small committed steps toward those values even when feelings are hard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety or low mood. Mindfulness Therapy trains simple attention practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus in stressful moments.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques to try and adjust them based on what feels most useful.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy life. Online work can make it simpler to have shorter check-ins, avoid travel time, or meet at times that work around work or caregiving demands. Because formats for sessions are not listed here, confirm the available options before booking so you can pick what fits your routine.
