About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She welcomes people who feel stuck, overwhelmed by stress or anxiety, or who are coping with loss, addiction, or big life changes. Jeanette writes plainly and listens closely to what matters to each person. She aims to make first steps feel doable and less intimidating.
Jeanette draws on a person-centered, strengths-based, solution-focused style. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) ideas alongside mindfulness and practical tools. Sessions often include working through thinking patterns, building coping skills, and practicing simple habits that help day-to-day functioning.
She has eight years of clinical experience and has worked with people affected by trauma, grief, depression, anxiety, and substance issues. Jeanette notes experience with clients who are justice impacted as well as those who are not. Her work also touches on relationship concerns such as attachment, codependency, and communication problems.
Jeanette favors a relaxed approach that makes space for humor and gratitude while addressing hard topics. She encourages clients to recognize their own strengths and to set realistic, measurable goals. Appointments are commonly scheduled on Sundays, with some Saturday slots and weekday evenings available.
To begin, she helps people identify clear aims and practical steps toward those aims. Sessions focus on what the person wants to change and how to make steady progress. The tone is collaborative and grounded in real-life problem solving.
How Jeanette’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Jeanette uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in ways that are straightforward and practical. ACT helps people clarify their values and take small actions that match those values, which can reduce avoidance and increase meaningful activity. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing cravings.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, then suggest techniques to try. That planning is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
Confirm the therapist’s current session options before booking, as formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, cut travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. They also let people use mindfulness and behavioral homework in their everyday settings so new habits can be practiced between visits.
