About Jeanette
Jeanette Grissom is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with four decades of experience helping people work through stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and depression. She focuses on practical steps that build confidence and daily coping skills. Her style emphasizes overall health and wellness and supports people as they make real changes.
She blends motivational interviewing with approaches like cognitive behavioral therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy to tailor treatment to each person. Sessions are used to identify small, achievable goals and to build skills for handling strong emotions and difficult situations. Jeanette draws on individual life stories to create clear, personalized treatment plans.
Her background includes decades of outpatient work and both individual therapy and group psycho-education. She has long experience with trauma-impacted people and with co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. This history shapes how she structures sessions and sets goals.
Jeanette emphasizes practical tools - coping strategies, communication skills, and problem solving - that can be practiced between sessions. She approaches change as a step-by-step process and supports people as they experiment with new habits. Progress is framed around what a person wants to achieve in daily life.
She works from Indiana and brings 40 years of clinical experience to her practice. Her guiding belief is that motivation plus applied skills leads to effective change, and she partners with people to create plans they can follow.

How her approaches translate to online care
Jeanette uses motivational interviewing to help people find their own reasons for change and to set practical goals. This approach focuses on listening, asking clear questions, and helping people move from thinking about change to acting on it. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them drive behavior, and it emphasizes taking action toward personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, CBT, breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches concrete skills to shift patterns that cause distress.
Deciding which approach to use is a shared process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has worked in the past. Together they pick strategies and adjust them as progress is made, so the treatment plan evolves based on what helps most.
If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact formats available before booking since the biography highlights outpatient individual work and group psycho-education but does not specify all remote options. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - sessions can be scheduled around work, shorter check-ins can be used when needed, and some people find video or phone sessions better for their routines. Jeanette aims to help people apply tools between sessions so progress carries over into everyday life. -
