Approaches for Online Work and Practical Support

Jeanette Grissom integrates several evidence-informed methods that translate well to remote sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness - helpful for managing intense emotions, relationship conflicts, and mood instability. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, is a trauma-focused approach that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their ongoing emotional impact.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jeanette works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods best match their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts plans as progress unfolds. Clients are active partners in deciding the focus and pace of work.

Online therapy with Jeanette is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives, maintain continuity of care during transitions, and access licensed professionals from different locations while working toward practical, skills-based outcomes.
