About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington with eight years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, trauma, depression, ADHD, parenting strain, and career or life transitions. Jeanette also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, anger, low self-esteem, and difficulties with relationships and communication.
Her style centers on client-centered therapy combined with practical techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She leans on Emotionally-Focused Therapy when emotions and attachment patterns are central to what someone brings. Jeanette also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy to offer skills for coping and tolerance.
In sessions she focuses on strengths and on identifying small, achievable steps. She uses mindfulness, occasional humor, and gratitude practices as part of the work. Clients can expect straightforward conversation about problems and clear strategies to try between sessions.
Jeanette has experience working with people affected by the justice system as well as others living with depression, anxiety, trauma, and substance use challenges. She invites clients to define their own goals, then collaborates on plans to reach them. The approach is practical and goal oriented, with attention to emotional experience and behavior change.

How her approaches translate to online work
Emotionally-Focused Therapy focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and attachment patterns. It helps when relationship patterns or hard-to-name feelings are getting in the way of daily life. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches practical ways to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck, and to choose values-based actions even when emotions are difficult. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and tests small changes to reduce symptoms and build new habits.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit best given their goals, current struggles, and preferences. That decision can be revisited as progress is made and new needs appear.
Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. These practical benefits help people apply what they learn between appointments and keep therapy aligned with everyday life.
