About Jeanette
Jeanette Trotter is an Illinois Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 23 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and people coping with life changes. Sessions focus on clear steps people can try between meetings.
Jeanette uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test different ways of responding. She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations focused on each person's priorities. Elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills are needed.
Her approach is practical and direct. She helps people break problems into manageable parts and practices new skills in session. Communication problems and workplace issues are typical topics she addresses with straightforward strategies.
Jeanette also works on forgiveness, life purpose, and mood disorders including panic attacks, social anxiety, and post-traumatic stress. She explains tools in plain language and gives concrete exercises to try between sessions. That makes it easier to track what helps and adjust the plan if needed.
Over two decades in the field have given her a range of clinical settings to draw on. She asks about current goals and everyday routines before suggesting techniques. People can expect a mix of talking, skill-building, and short practical homework tasks.
Online sessions using CBT and skills-based methods
Jeanette commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns and try small behavioral experiments. CBT focuses on concrete steps and short exercises that can be practiced between sessions to reduce anxiety and improve mood.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep the work aligned with a person's priorities, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy for emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills when those are needed. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on what matters most to the person, while DBT provides clear tools for managing intense emotions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanette will discuss goals and daily routines and together decide which methods to emphasize. This collaborative process helps match practical techniques to the concerns someone brings, whether that's panic attacks, relationship communication, or workplace stress.
