About Jeanette

Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, and self-esteem struggles. Jeanette aims to make reaching out feel manageable and respectful of where someone is right now.

She uses a person-centered, strengths-based style that keeps the client’s goals central. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a common tool in her work, helping people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Jeanette also brings mindfulness, humor, and practical planning into sessions to make change feel doable.

Her background includes work with people affected by trauma, grief and loss, and substance use concerns. Over eight years she has supported others through life transitions, career shifts, parenting stress, and first responder issues. She emphasizes finding everyday strengths and small wins.

In sessions she listens for practical steps and helps set clear, achievable goals. She aims to help clients build skills for managing panic, anger, impulsivity, and relationship or communication problems. Her approach is collaborative and aimed at steady progress.

Jeanette schedules many sessions on Sundays, with some weekend and weekday evening options. If someone wants to explore support for self-esteem, coping with change, or addiction-related challenges, she guides them through a short matching process and scheduling next steps.

How therapy approaches guide online care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help people who want to build a meaningful life despite anxiety or low self-worth.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and managing impulsive behaviors.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works together with each person to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaboration helps tailor exercises and homework to everyday life and to what the person feels ready to try.

Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, such as weekend or evening appointments. Online sessions can reduce travel time and help keep steady momentum between meetings. The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking.
