About Jeanette
Jeanette "Jan" Kaschmitter is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She brings 25 years of experience and a steady, practical style to sessions. Jan focuses on issues such as stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, addictions, relationship and intimacy-related concerns, parenting challenges, anger, and self esteem.
Jan’s background includes work in community mental health, inpatient psychiatric settings, and a tribal clinic. She spent over a decade in programs that combined mental health and substance use services, though she does not hold a separate credential in substance use. Her career has included individual, couples, and group counseling, primarily with adults.
Her approach draws from several familiar therapies. Jan often uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice and change thought patterns. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation, and Motivational Interviewing to support people making difficult changes.
Jan describes herself as eclectic and client-centered. She aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs and goals rather than following a fixed formula. She has specialized training related to grief and loss, trauma and sexual abuse, and co-occurring disorders.
People who work with Jan can expect straightforward, practical conversations that focus on steps they can try between sessions. She emphasizes hope and the possibility of recovery, and works alongside clients as they rebuild balance and reach personal goals.
