About Jeannette
Jeannette Horton is a Washington Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma and substance use, and helps people manage grief, self-esteem, anger, and life changes.
She has worked in outpatient chemical dependency programs, community mental health settings, and long-term care communities. Her background includes work with older adults and veterans, and she draws on that range when a client's situation involves caregiving, chronic illness, or deployment-related stress.
Jeannette uses clear, direct conversations rather than clinical distance. Sessions focus on practical steps people can try between appointments. She often combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and mindfulness approaches to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and experiment with different responses.
Her style is straightforward and conversational. She aims to build trust by encouraging honest talk and some real-world problem solving. Humor and normalizing difficult reactions are part of how she keeps conversations grounded.
In work with complicated life events or overlapping issues, Jeannette attends to both immediate coping and longer-term patterns. She will discuss concrete strategies for stress, mood, and relationship concerns, and suggest small behavioral experiments to test what helps. This approach is meant to make progress understandable and manageable.

How her approaches translate to online work
Jeannette blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered methods in accessible ways. CBT focuses on spotting unhelpful thoughts and trying small behavioral experiments to see what changes mood or stress. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and reflecting so the client’s priorities shape each session.She also uses mindfulness techniques to help people notice physical sensations and steady attention during stressful moments. These practices are short and practice-based, useful for anxiety, grief, and ongoing stress. The therapist will talk with each person about which methods feel most useful and adapt over time in collaboration with the client.
Confirm the available session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. The therapist will help identify an approach and a pacing that fit daily life and treatment goals, and will plan practical steps to try between appointments.
