About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana with 40 years of experience helping people with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and mood concerns. She offers individual therapy and group psycho-education work to address problems that get in the way of daily life. Sessions focus on clear skills and steps rather than vague talk.
Her approach centers on practical methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR when trauma is involved. She uses those methods to build coping skills, change unhelpful patterns, and reduce distress. Sessions often include concrete exercises and homework to practice between meetings.
Grissom develops an individual treatment plan for each person. That plan targets the concerns the person brings, for example panic attacks, depression, substance use, parenting strain, or relationship problems. She combines solution-focused steps with motivational interviewing techniques to support people in making changes they want.
Her background includes many years working with trauma-impacted people and those dealing with co-occurring mental health and substance use concerns. She has provided outpatient services rather than inpatient or partial hospitalization care. Group education and individual counseling have been central parts of her work.
Practical progress and skills use are emphasized rather than long-term analysis. Grissom helps people notice patterns, try new responses, and track what works. The first step is completing the intake process and scheduling a first session through the site’s matching and scheduling flow.
How CBT, ACT and DBT translate to online sessions
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. Online sessions can walk through thinking patterns, introduce simple exercises, and set short practical homework to practice between meetings.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people clarify values and take small, committed steps toward them. In remote sessions this often looks like setting clear goals, tracking small actions, and reviewing what helps someone keep going.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Those skills can be taught in session and practiced with real-life tasks between meetings to reduce intense reactions and improve communication.
Choosing the best approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods to use based on needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean using CBT techniques for thought patterns, adding ACT goals, or bringing in DBT skills when emotion regulation is a priority.
The practical benefit of online care is fitting sessions into everyday life. Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since the biography lists individual therapy and group psycho-education historically but does not specify current online session types. Online work can make it easier to attend shorter check-ins, schedule sessions around work or caregiving, and use written worksheets or in-session screen sharing to support skills practice.
