Jeannette Sedor, LPC

Jeannette Sedor is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, and self-esteem struggles. Her approach aims to make therapy accessible and respectful for each person who reaches out.

She uses a mix of approaches that fit the person and the problem. That can include work rooted in how people connect with others, client-centered dialogue that follows the client's pace, and practical cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thoughts and habits. Mindfulness tools are also offered to build moment-to-moment coping skills.

Jeannette adapts conversations and treatment plans to each person’s situation. Sessions are straightforward and focused on real-life goals like reducing panic, managing mood swings, coping with grief, or navigating major life changes. She also supports people facing trauma, first responder stress, issues related to military service, and chronic illness concerns.

She treats concerns such as abandonment, body image, sexual assault and abuse, traumatic brain injury, career strain, money worries, and compassion fatigue. The work often combines skill-building with exploring personal patterns to create clearer choices and healthier routines.

People who choose her can expect a respectful, calm presence and practical steps they can try between sessions. To begin, clients use the site’s Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability.

How her approaches translate to online work

Jeannette uses client-centered conversation and cognitive behavioral techniques in therapy. Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person’s priorities, which helps people clarify goals and feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors with concrete exercises and practice between sessions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at how relationship patterns affect current stress and emotional reactions. That approach can help people understand why they respond a certain way in close relationships and learn new ways of relating. These methods commonly address anxiety, mood concerns, trauma responses, grief, and life transitions.

Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will work together with each person to choose which approaches to try based on their goals, preferences, and what feels useful in early sessions. Adjustments are made as needed so the plan stays practical and relevant.

Session format options are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session choices before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a work break, or let someone choose not to use video. These practical benefits can help people keep therapy consistent while working toward clearer daily routines and coping strategies.
