About Jeanna

Jeanna Bradley is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) and a licensed clinical professional counselor (LCPC) practicing in Illinois with 12 years of experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, workplace pressure, relationship concerns, grief, parenting strain, and anger. Sessions are straightforward and goal-focused.

Jeanna helps people who feel stuck after big changes. She talks through practical skills for managing strong feelings and recurring worries. She also supports people who are navigating medical issues, caregiving stress, or the emotional impact of aging.

Her approach mixes evidence-based methods. Jeanna uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thinking. She draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to clarify values and choose actions that matter. Dialectical behavior therapy tools are used when people need clearer emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills.

In sessions she keeps language direct and concrete. Clients work on skills to reduce reactivity, improve communication, and rebuild trust with themselves. She also addresses intimacy-related concerns, ADHD-related challenges, and feelings tied to family of origin and abandonment.

Jeanna has worked with a wide range of life situations including chronic illness, cancer care, first responder stress, and kink-affirming concerns. Her background supports people who want hands-on strategies for coping and clearer steps for change. To begin, follow the service's matching and scheduling steps to arrange an initial session.

How her approaches shape online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what matters and take small actions that match those values. In practice this can mean identifying meaningful goals and experimenting with new behaviors despite difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting patterns of thinking that lead to anger or anxiety and testing alternative thoughts and behaviors to reduce reactivity. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) contributes concrete skills for tolerating intense feelings and improving interpersonal effectiveness.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanna will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. She combines practical skill-building with values-based planning so the plan is both useful and realistic.
