About Jeannette
Jeannette Horton is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) with 14 years in the mental health field. She works with adults on issues such as depression, anxiety, trauma, substance use, grief, self-esteem, and relationship strain. Jeannette emphasizes creating a safe, down-to-earth space where people can speak honestly and be heard.
She has worked in outpatient chemical dependency programs, community mental health agencies, and long-term care settings since 2008. That range of settings informs a practical style that mixes empathy with straightforward conversation. Jeannette aims to build trust quickly so people feel comfortable sharing difficult material.
Her sessions often include plainspoken talk, gentle humor, and attention to safety in the therapeutic relationship. She helps people notice patterns, practice new ways of responding, and set small, doable goals. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.
Jeannette draws on methods from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral ideas, mindfulness, existential questions about meaning, and motivational interviewing. Those tools are used to address stress, coping with life changes, addictions, and concerns like abandonment, attachment, and body image. She also supports people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver strain, and compassion fatigue.
Her manner is informal and sincere. Jeannette’s priority is helping people feel safe enough to say what’s on their mind, then working together to find practical ways forward. If someone wants straightforward conversation with a focus on real-life change, she aims to provide that.

How her approaches work well online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding what matters to you. The therapist stays present and accepts your experience, helping you feel heard and respected while you talk through difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and tries small experiments to shift unhelpful habits. It can help with anxiety, depression, and reactions to stress.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose which methods to try based on needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as progress is made or as new issues come up.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as this profile does not list specific formats. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by removing travel time and allowing sessions during breaks or from different locations. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or let people use audio-only options if they prefer not to be on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, homework, and mindful practices to an online setting so work continues between sessions.
