About Jeanna
Jeanna Bradley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) with 12 years of clinical experience in Illinois. She focuses on problems like depression, anxiety, trauma, workplace stress, and anger. Jeanna helps people who are navigating life changes, relationship strain, grief, parenting challenges, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions cover practical skills for managing strong emotions and daily demands. She uses talk, focused exercises, and real-world practice to reduce reactivity and build clarity about next steps.
Jeanna draws on a mix of established approaches. She uses cognitive behavioral ideas to challenge unhelpful thoughts, acceptance and commitment strategies to clarify values and action, and DBT skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. She also brings client-centered listening and existential perspectives when people need to examine meaning and choice.
In sessions she helps people name what triggers their anger and tension, practice calmer responses, and rebuild trust in relationships affected by outbursts or resentment. She also works with career stress, caregiver strain, chronic illness, and the emotional fallout of trauma and loss.
People can expect direct, practical conversation and concrete tools to try between sessions. Jeanna emphasizes steady progress rather than quick fixes, helping clients notice small changes that add up over time.
How sessions work
How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Jeanna uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify and test unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which often leads to clearer choices and fewer reactive moments. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is used to clarify values and encourage small behaviour changes even when feelings are uncomfortable. Dialectical Behavior Therapy supplies practical emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills people can practice between sessions.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with each person about goals, what has worked before, and daily constraints, then try approaches that fit. Adjustments are normal; methods can be shifted based on how someone responds and what feels most useful.
Confirm the therapist's current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit work on emotion management into a busy week. They can allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, avoid travel, and make practicing skills at home or during a break more practical. Licensed professionals can guide how to structure sessions so skills transfer into everyday life.
