Greetings! I am a licensed Professional Counselor who has worked with all ages. I am experienced in individual, group, family, substance abuse, and co-occuring therapies. I use a cognitive behavioral approach to assist you with changing unwanted thoughts and behaviors. I enjoy working on real issues and seeing the end result. I have worked in a residential and private practice venue.
I am older and have spent most of my adult life in social work field, this is my chosen path and I Love what I do. I am a Mother of two and Grandmother of two. My hobbies and life passion have been horses to which I still own, raise, ride and show. I have worked with kiddo's with riding lessons and find that a horse is great therapy.
People have told me that I am very easy to talk to. I pride myself on my non-judgmental approach to our therapeutic relationship. Life is a journey and none of us will have a perfect path, there is always stumbling blocks on the way but that doesn't have to be the end, instead let that bring on learning and growth and we can do that together.
With your courage and my support we can do it!!
I can't wait to meet you

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Thank you Jeanie For being human first Then a therapist
Jeannie is always there to listen when I need her. I really enjoy our conversations
Jeannie was an incredibly positive light throughout my week, I always felt positive through talking to her about my relationship and mental health struggles. She really made me feel like I could handle all of the problems life threw my way
Hi Jeannie is very sweet and easy to talk to…..she makes me feel comfortable and she listens and gives advise when I need it….I really enjoy our conversations Christina
Jeannie makes it so easy… I have always felt very seen by her and I appreciate her so much. She is truly the best counsellor I’ve had!
She’s has been great in understanding my needs and wants. She’s been very supportive and positive.
My time with Jeannie was the most helpful experience I have had. The only thing is that I could not tell when my payment was up, so unfortunately when due for our last session I wasn’t able to send any messages without paying or be connected at all. So thank you Jeannie for celebrating my successes, and giving the fantastic advice you did. If I can be connected with you again I would love to be!
Jeannie is extremely kind and patient. I really appreciate how Jeannie celebrates my successes, she keeps a conversation moving really well. I felt immediately comfortable talking with Jeannie and I am so thankful. :)
I had a great experience with Jeannie, she helped me a lot during the last month. I highly recommend her as a counselor!
Jeannie is wonderful! She’s so full of compassion, she really listens and cares. I feel like she understood me right away and although we only had a few sessions together, I like knowing that she’s there if I ever need her again!
Jeannie James is really good at keeping conversation going and not making you uncomfortable with questions. She's good at being patient with you if you don't know how to answer something and gives you prompts on how to figure out how to word things.
Jeannie is amazing! She has helped me work through a lot even though it’s only been a short time. It’s more than once a week I talk to her daily! She is always very supporting and warm, and I love that she sends me practice worksheets and things to read so I can grow everyday!
Jeannie James is strongly good at starting off a conversation and doesn't aggravate you with alot of questions and when question are asked she is reasonable and waits for you to be able to answrr...she has given me good advice and notices that I can also help myself during each session...so far she has been great
