About Jeannette
Jeannette Horton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 14 years of experience. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and struggles with addiction. She also supports concerns around self-esteem, relationships, compassion fatigue, and codependency. Jeannette works with adults and brings a direct, down-to-earth approach to difficult topics.

That range shaped a practical style that values clear conversation and steady support. She also has lived experience as a veteran and has worked with veteran-related issues.
In sessions she focuses first on creating a sense of safety in the relationship. Jeannette aims for honest, candid conversations and uses plain language rather than jargon. She mixes empathy with a bit of humor to make hard topics easier to discuss.
Her methods include client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, existential reflection, and motivational interviewing. She uses these approaches to help people identify patterns, try small changes, and cope better day to day.

How Jeannette’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Jeannette often combines client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people change patterns and feel heard. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, acceptance, and working at the client's pace to build trust and clarity. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors so people can try small, practical changes and see what helps.She also uses mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques when useful. Mindfulness teaches simple ways to calm attention and notice stress without judging it. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons for change and build momentum around goals. Deciding which mix to use is a collaborative process she will do with each person based on needs and preferences.
Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, shorten commute time, and allow check-ins during breaks or between appointments.
