About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) in Washington with eight years of clinical experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, ADHD, relationship and family concerns, and coping with major life changes.
She uses a strengths-oriented, person-centered style and draws heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions are practical and focused on noticing thoughts and habits that keep problems going. She uses mindfulness, moments of lightness, and straightforward skill practice to help people test different ways of responding.
Her background includes work with both justice-impacted and non-justice-impacted adults dealing with trauma, substance use, and mood concerns. That experience informs how she helps people set clear goals and plan small steps toward them. She describes her approach as laid back and direct, with room for humor alongside careful skill building.
In sessions she helps people identify useful strengths, try behavioral experiments, and build routines that reduce overwhelm. She also offers coaching-style work for career and life transitions, and supports people navigating separation, loss, or caregiving at end of life.
Practical matters are part of her work: she helps clients make simple action plans, track progress, and adjust approaches when something does not work. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session to set goals and establish a plan.
How CBT, ACT and Client-Centered work online
Jeanette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT involves setting clear goals, trying small experiments between sessions, and tracking what changes. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and learning to take actions that align with those values, even when uncomfortable feelings are present. Client-Centered Therapy prioritizes the person's own perspective and builds on their strengths to guide change.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanette collaborates with each person to pick methods that fit their goals and preferences. She reviews what helps and adjusts the plan over time so the tools match what the client needs in daily life.
Session format options are not listed in the original biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, shorten commutes, and allow brief check-ins when a longer visit would be hard to schedule. They also let people practice skills between sessions in whatever context they live in, then bring observations back to therapy for review.
