About Evelyn
Her approach centers on listening and helping people connect to strengths they may not notice. Jeanie uses practical methods to manage anxiety, grief, depression, and stress. She also helps with relationship and parenting concerns, career questions, and the emotional work that comes with major life changes, including midlife transitions.
Jeanie weaves spiritual values into sessions when that is important to the person. She pays attention to each person's faith journey and how it shapes choices and meaning. That perspective is offered as one resource among others, not as the only way forward.
In sessions she focuses on clear tools and simple steps people can try between meetings. Techniques come from client-centered work, cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness, and skills-based approaches. Conversations aim to build coping skills, strengthen self‑esteem, and improve communication.
People often come for help with family of origin issues, caregiving stress, codependency, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. Jeanie also supports those dealing with grief, divorce, adoption and foster care concerns, and compassion fatigue. She prefers an encouraging, practical style that invites steady progress over time.

How these approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead to discover what matters most. It helps people feel heard and come to their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches clear skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for managing strong emotions, improving tolerance for distress, and strengthening relationships.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to test methods and adjust based on needs, goals, and what feels most helpful. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while respecting each person's beliefs and values.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also make skills practice more convenient between meetings, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed to manage a hectic schedule.
