About Jeannette
Jeannette Horton is a licensed mental health counselor with 14 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma, and substance concerns. She focuses on practical, down-to-earth conversations and aims to make therapy feel approachable for someone who may be nervous about starting. Building a sense of safety in the relationship is her first priority.
Jeannette draws on existential ideas to help people face big life questions and find meaning during hard times.
Background and approach
She uses client-centered techniques that keep the conversation grounded in each person's needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy tools and mindfulness practices are part of her approach when people want concrete skills to change thought and behavior patterns. Her background includes work in outpatient chemical dependency treatment, community mental health agencies, and long-term care settings.
That variety gives her experience with addiction, older adult concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and grief. She has also worked with veterans and understands the impact of deployment and military life. Sessions are practical and straightforward.
Jeannette balances honest, candid dialogue with a sense of humor when appropriate. She aims to be a steady, real person in the room so people can talk about difficult feelings without needing to perform or hide. People who come to her often want help with relationships, self-esteem, career stress, codependency, or coping with life changes.
She also addresses less common concerns like BDSM and kink, attachment wounds, chronic pain, and the emotional effects of cancer or disasters.

Online support
Approach and online options for meaningful change
Jeannette typically blends Existential Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit the person she is working with. Existential Therapy helps people face life transitions, feelings of meaninglessness, or questions about purpose by naming concerns and looking at choices. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person's experience so they feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy offers concrete tools to notice and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors when anxiety, depression, or stress are the main issues.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. She will talk with clients about their goals, try out methods, and adjust the mix based on what helps. The aim is to find practical steps and perspectives that feel right to the person in front of her rather than to impose a single method.
Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video works well for deeper conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can fit into a short break or be easier if bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for brief check-ins, and text messages can support ongoing reflection between sessions. These formats help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are not possible.
