Jeanette Grissom, LMHC

Jeanette Grissom is an LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) practicing in Indiana with four decades of experience. She combines practical therapy methods to help people manage stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, and mood concerns. Her style centers on overall health and wellness and on helping people build everyday coping skills.

She uses a mix of approaches to shape individualized treatment plans. Those methods include cognitive behavioral techniques and other evidence-informed tools to help people identify patterns and try different ways of responding. Sessions focus on skills that can be used between meetings, such as coping strategies, communication tools, and relapse prevention ideas.

Jeanette has long experience working with trauma-impacted people and those facing co-occurring substance use and mental health concerns. She also addresses concerns like parenting strain, caregiver stress, codependency, relationship problems, and process addictions. Her work includes helping people dealing with depression, bipolar mood issues, panic, and grief.

Her practice emphasizes collaboration. She uses each person’s unique situation to build a treatment plan that matches their goals. Progress is framed around practical steps and the client’s own effort to apply new skills in daily life.

To begin, a person completes a brief matching questionnaire and schedules sessions based on the therapist’s availability. Jeanette describes the first step as starting the journey toward clearer coping and improved daily functioning.

How therapeutic approaches fit into online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify their values and take small, workable steps toward them while handling difficult thoughts and feelings. It is often used for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and panic. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) focuses on building emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills to manage strong emotions and improve relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist listens to your goals and offers methods that match your situation. Choices are made collaboratively and can change as needs and progress evolve.

Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific online or in-person options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions around work, childcare, or travel. It can allow shorter check-ins when that is helpful, reduce time spent commuting, and let people continue work while living in different places. Licensed professionals can tailor session pacing and homework so therapy fits into everyday life rather than demanding major schedule changes.
