Jeanette Grissom

Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Indiana with four decades of experience. She focuses on practical steps that help people manage stress, anger, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. Jeanette uses clear, goal-oriented work so people can see steady progress as they practice new skills.

She mixes several approaches to meet real needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying values and taking action that fits what matters to them. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) depending on the situation.

Jeanette builds an individual treatment plan for each person. That plan starts with what a person says they want to change and adds tools they can use between sessions. She commonly uses individual therapy and group psycho-education as the core service methods in her work history.

Her style centers on overall health and wellness rather than labels. She pays attention to family of origin issues, codependency, caregiver stress, and multicultural concerns when those topics come up. The goal is practical change that fits a person’s life and priorities.

Starting therapy begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step. Jeanette encourages a steady, applied approach - practicing new skills, checking progress, and adjusting plans so people can move toward the life they want.

How therapeutic approaches work in online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name what matters to them and take actions in line with those values, even when stress or strong feelings get in the way. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, anger, and life transitions when someone wants clearer direction for choices and behavior.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It provides straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors, which can reduce anxiety, depression, and problematic habits over time.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. It is often used when people need steady tools to manage intense feelings and improve interactions with others.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, then try methods that match those needs. That process is collaborative and may include trying different techniques to see what helps most.

Confirm the current online session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can work with clients to plan sessions that match schedules, attention span, and the kinds of skills a person wants to practice.
