About Jeaninne

Jeaninne Atherton is a Florida-licensed clinical social worker with nine years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and struggles with addictions. Jeaninne focuses on building a calm, understanding space where people can talk about hard things without judgment.

She supports those coping with trauma and abuse and works on boosting self-esteem and motivation. Sessions aim to be practical and straightforward, with a focus on what a person wants to change.

Background and approach

Jeaninne uses tools from several approaches to match each person's needs. Her style is warm and nonjudgmental. She listens first to identify priorities, then collaborates on goals and steps to reach them.

People can expect clear, simple strategies alongside space to process difficult feelings. Jeaninne draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to address unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses client-centered methods to keep the person's values and pace central.

Mindfulness skills and elements of dialectical behavior therapy are woven in when helpful to manage strong emotions. EMDR is part of her toolkit for working with traumatic memories and the distress they cause. Sessions are paced to suit each person's readiness, with attention to safety and comfort.

Working together, she helps people find lasting ways to feel more capable and confident.

Online support

Approaches that translate to online care

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person and their pace, giving space to share thoughts and feelings without judgment. This approach helps when someone needs a supportive ear and collaborative goal setting. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts and behaviors interact and teaches practical skills to reduce anxiety and depression. It works well for changing daily patterns that cause distress. EMDR uses structured processing to reduce the intensity of distressing memories and reactions; it can be offered online in paced, measured steps for those working through trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, symptoms, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can be adjusted over time as needs change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy fit into busy lives. Video is useful for a regular face-to-face feel, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, chat supports quick check-ins, and messaging lets someone share between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions from different locations and to use formats that match each person’s schedule and comfort.
