More about Jeanne
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I love being a social worker and I enjoy working in the field of mental health and addiction services. I believe that anyone could develop a mental health or substance abuse problem, and that all intimate relationships have periods of struggles. It can be challenging to overcome your problems. It is rewarding for me to be a part of assisting people with improving their lives. I currently work with teens, adults, and couples.
I am a licensed clinical social worker and have worked 10 years in hospital settings and now 10 years in private practice. Throughout my career, I have worked in inpatient, crisis intervention, intensive outpatient, and outpatient levels of care. I have treated people with a variety of mental health diagnoses and/or chemical dependency issues. I am an OCD specialist and use ERP. A large part of my private practice is devoted to working with those who have anxiety disorders, phobias, and OCD and related disorders.
I use motivational interviewing, cognitive behavioral therapy, solution focused therapy, and supportive therapy. I would love to connect with you if you think I may be a good match on your support team.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.
