About Jeannette
Jeannette Horton is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) who focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, self-esteem, anger, and related concerns. She lists Men's wellbeing among her interests and brings 14 years of experience in mental health settings.

Jean has worked in outpatient chemical dependency programs, community mental health agencies, and long-term care communities since 2008. She has experience supporting older adults, people facing chronic illness or caregiving strain, and those coping with major life changes. She also has experience as a veteran and understands issues that can follow deployment.
Her approach centers on building safety and trust first. She prefers direct, down-to-earth conversation and uses humor when appropriate. That straightforward style helps people talk about hard topics without feeling judged.
Jean draws on client-centered work alongside cognitive behavioral and existential approaches, plus mindfulness and motivational interviewing techniques. In practice she helps people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and make sense of painful experiences.
She encourages clear goals and regular check-ins so therapy stays practical and focused. People who meet with her can expect honest conversation, support for real-world problems, and attention to how therapy fits into everyday life.
How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person's lead. It helps people feel heard, clarify what matters, and set goals that fit their life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behavior and uses practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness Therapy teaches attention and grounding skills to reduce reactivity and support coping with difficult feelings.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will work with each person to identify goals and try approaches that match their needs and preferences. She checks in regularly and adjusts methods based on what helps the person make steady progress.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people find video helpful for face-to-face interaction, while others prefer audio for flexibility and lower data use. Discussing what works best is part of the first sessions so therapy fits into everyday life.
