About Jeanna

Jeanna Bradley is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Indiana and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, and parenting concerns among other everyday pressures people bring into therapy.

She helps people facing major life changes, work-related strain, grief, and relationship difficulties. Jeanna uses straightforward conversation to clarify what feels most urgent and to set practical goals. Sessions emphasize building communication skills, addressing shame, and finding ways to manage strong emotions like anger or overwhelm.

Her practice draws on several evidence-based methods, including acceptance and commitment techniques and cognitive behavioral strategies. She also uses client-centered listening and dialectical behavior ideas to help people handle intense feelings and improve coping. These approaches are described and used in simple, step-by-step ways during sessions.

People who have chronic health concerns, caregiver stress, or complex family-of-origin issues are within her stated focus areas. She also notes experience with issues connected to aging, first responder stresses, and intimacy-related topics. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Illinois.

Jeanna invites adults who want clear, practical work on parenting stress, relationship strain, or mood concerns. To begin, readers should use the site matching process to choose online therapy options and schedule an initial session.

How sessions work

How therapy approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and choose actions aligned with their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes where motivation or meaning has become unclear.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks down unhelpful thought patterns and behavior cycles into specific parts you can change. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical skills to shift thinking and routine responses.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) brings skills for handling strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and managing conflict. It is helpful when emotions become overwhelming or when communication repeatedly breaks down.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit best for their goals and situation. That match is reviewed over the first sessions and adjusted as needed so the work stays useful and focused.

Confirm the current online session options before booking since formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when time is tight, and reduce travel time. Talk with the therapist about which arrangement will fit with your schedule and daily life.
