About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with four decades of experience. She centers therapy on practical steps people can take to feel better. Sessions emphasize overall health and wellness and aim to build confidence and self-efficacy. Jeanette offers individual work that draws on what each person brings to the room.
She has long supported people dealing with trauma, addiction, mood struggles, and stress. Her background includes both individual therapy and group psycho-education. She blends several evidence-based methods to help people learn new coping skills and manage symptoms from day to day.
Jeanette typically creates an individualized treatment plan for each person. That plan focuses on the concerns presented and the goals the person wants to reach. She uses tools that encourage motivation, practical skill building, and steady progress toward those goals.
Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting strain, codependency, grief, and substance-related problems. She also lists multicultural issues, veteran and armed forces issues, and process addictions among focus areas.
People who choose Jeanette can expect straightforward, solution-oriented conversations that move toward concrete change. She welcomes questions and supports a person-led pace of work. To begin, she asks people to take an initial matching step so sessions can be scheduled according to availability.
How ACT, CBT, and DBT can work in online therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts or feelings without getting stuck in them and then take steps toward what matters most. It can be useful for stress, life changes, and struggles with motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them against real-life evidence while building practical coping skills for anxiety and depression. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication when emotions run high.Finding which approach fits best is part of the early work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to match methods to goals and day-to-day needs. That might mean trying one approach for skill building and adding techniques from another when trauma or strong emotions are present.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full session is not needed. Many people find that online meetings let them practice skills in real settings between appointments. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT tools to online formats, and the therapist will discuss what will work best for scheduling, communication style, and treatment goals.
