About Jeanna

Jeanna Bradley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, career issues, relationship and family concerns, and parenting. She also supports people managing grief, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Clients can expect direct, practical work on thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions aim to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new ways of responding. Jeanna uses methods that encourage clearer communication, better emotional regulation, and step-by-step coping skills.

Her approach combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) and client-centered listening. That mix is used to help people set goals, notice habits that get in the way, and try concrete strategies between sessions. She also brings existential ideas when people are wrestling with meaning or life direction.

Jeanna has worked with people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, first responder stress, and the practical effects of aging. She takes time to understand a person's history, including family of origin issues, abandonment, and shame, so therapy addresses both current problems and long-standing patterns.

Her style is straightforward and action-focused. She helps people build skills they can use outside sessions, such as communication tools, behavioral experiments, and emotion regulation techniques. To begin, readers are invited to use the matching process to schedule an initial session and see if the approach fits their needs.

How her approaches translate to online sessions

Jeanna commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. CBT involves short experiments and practice between sessions to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can fit well into an online format. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and build willingness to feel difficult emotions while taking values-based action; it pairs well with exercises and worksheets that clients can use between meetings.

She also draws on client-centered techniques that focus on listening and reflecting, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when those are helpful. Finding the right mix is part of the work; she will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches match their goals and daily life. That decision is revisited as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a workday, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins when a short meeting is useful. It also supports using digital worksheets and homework exercises between sessions to reinforce skills learned together.
