About Jeana
Jeana De Lay is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) in California with 17 years of experience. She works with adults on concerns such as anger, stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationships, parenting challenges, career issues, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Sessions focus on practical steps people can use right away to manage day-to-day struggles.
She uses both longer and shorter term therapy depending on what the person needs. She also offers life coaching to pair goal-focused work with therapeutic change. That coaching side helps people move from where they are now toward concrete goals and new ways of handling setbacks.
In sessions she helps people name patterns, set specific goals, and try small changes between meetings. Homework assignments and practice tasks are common, designed to build new habits and improve communication. This can include clearer ways to express anger, problem-solve at work, or rebuild trust after conflict.
She teaches parenting skills too, focusing on communication, consistent discipline, and how interaction shifts as children grow. The emphasis is on practical strategies parents can use right away to reduce stress and restore routines.
Clients work with her to define measurable goals and a step-by-step plan. Progress is reviewed regularly and the plan is adjusted as needed to keep work moving forward.
How sessions work
Approaches and how online sessions support change
She draws on evidence-based techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and building new skills. One approach emphasizes identifying patterns of thought and behavior, then practicing small changes to reduce reactivity and improve mood; this helps with anger, anxiety, and low mood. A second strand focuses on goal-oriented coaching methods that translate insights into action steps, useful for career moves, parenting shifts, and clearing obstacles that keep someone stuck.Finding the best approach is part of the work itself. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose methods that match their goals, pace, and preferences. Plans often combine skills practice, short exercises between sessions, and periodic reviews to track progress.
Session format options are not listed in the biography, so confirm available online formats before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins, and reduce commute time. Those practical benefits can make it easier to keep regular appointments and practice new skills consistently.
