About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is an Indiana LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 40 years of practice. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, anger, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and related concerns. She works with adults who need practical skills and clear steps to feel steadier in daily life.
Her work centers on brief, skill-based methods that address current problems. She often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) as tools. Sessions typically focus on concrete coping skills, communication strategies, and steps to reduce risky behavior around substances or process addictions.
She has long experience with people who face both mental health and substance use challenges at the same time. Group psycho-education and individual therapy have been mainstays in her practice. She also has extensive work with trauma-impacted people and with mood and panic symptoms.
Her planning is pragmatic: she builds an individual treatment plan from each person’s situation and goals. Practical exercises, motivational interviewing techniques, and reality-based problem solving are used to increase day-to-day functioning and self-efficacy. Progress is tied to what the person practices between sessions.
Getting started is straightforward. Prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire, select an online therapy option, and schedule a first session. Costs vary by location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and pick actions that match their values. It is useful when anger comes from feeling stuck or out of control. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on specific thought and behavior patterns. It provides step-by-step tools for reducing reactivity, managing stress, and changing problem habits. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for regulating strong emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful for temper and relationship conflict.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist and client review goals, symptoms, and preferences and choose or combine methods accordingly. That collaborative process can shift as needs change, with an emphasis on what produces clearer coping and better day-to-day functioning.
The biography notes individual therapy and group psycho-education as foundational parts of practice. Please confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and remove the need to travel to an office. A clear plan for skills practice between meetings is usually part of online work to help apply what is learned in everyday situations.
