About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 40 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, ADHD and related struggles. She lists Emotionally-Focused Therapy among her approaches and combines several methods to address the problems people bring to therapy.
She has long experience providing individual therapy and group psycho-education in outpatient settings. Much of her work has involved people affected by trauma and by co-occurring mental health and substance use challenges. She describes a focus on overall health and wellness when planning care.
Jeanette uses a problem-solving orientation alongside approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques, acceptance and commitment ideas, dialectical behavior skills, EMDR, motivational interviewing and Emotionally-Focused Therapy. She helps clients turn real-life situations into practical treatment plans. Sessions emphasize building skills and self-efficacy rather than abstract theory.
She pays attention to each person’s history and family of origin issues when those come up, and she addresses communication problems, codependency, control issues, and process addictions as needed. Her background includes work with multicultural concerns, veteran and armed forces issues, postpartum depression, panic attacks and mood disorders.
Jeanette designs individual treatment plans that respond to the concerns someone names. She notes that starting is the first step and asks prospective clients to use the site’s matching process to schedule an initial session. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
How Jeanette applies EFT, CBT and ACT online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming difficult emotions and the interaction patterns they create. It can help when strong feelings and unclear attachment needs drive repeated arguments or withdrawals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches concrete skills to change them. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) works on noticing painful thoughts and values-based action so people can move toward what matters despite hard feelings.Choosing an approach is collaborative. The therapist will discuss your goals and try methods that fit your needs. Over early sessions she will adjust techniques based on what helps most, combining elements of EFT, CBT, ACT or other listed methods when useful.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Online work can make scheduling easier and allow sessions to fit into busy days. Some formats may be shorter check-ins or audio-only conversations when video is not practical. Bringing notes, having a quiet spot and agreeing on goals for each session helps make remote work productive.
