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 clinical experience. She works with people facing depression, anxiety, trauma, workplace stress, relationship challenges, parenting strain, grief, and the pressures common in young adulthood such as career decisions and life transitions.

She aims to help people talk through what feels overwhelming and build practical ways to cope. Sessions often focus on clearer communication, managing shame or isolation, and developing day-to-day strategies for emotion regulation. Jeanna draws on approaches that encourage action and present-moment awareness while keeping conversations grounded and direct.

Her background includes work with a range of adults, including young professionals, older adults, veterans, and people living with chronic health concerns. That variety shaped a pragmatic style that blends skill teaching with open listening. She helps clients notice what matters to them and take small, manageable steps toward those values.

In therapy she mixes evidence-based techniques such as cognitive behavioral methods and mindfulness-informed practices with person-centered listening. Clients can expect to learn coping skills, practice new ways of relating, and discuss concrete next steps between sessions. Jeanna also addresses issues like ADHD challenges, compassion fatigue, intimacy questions, and career stress in focused sessions.

Her work includes attention to family of origin dynamics, commitment and communication problems, and processing grief or past abuse. People who want straightforward, experienced support during major life shifts may find this approach helpful.

How therapeutic approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help when life choices, career uncertainty, or ongoing worry get in the way of living the way you want. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, depression, and work or school stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides concrete skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship conflict, or chronic stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to test methods, adjust techniques, and choose what fits the person's goals and preferences. That process is gradual and tailored through conversation and short experiments rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since specific formats are not listed here. Many people find remote sessions easier to fit into study or work schedules, allow shorter check-ins on busy days, and reduce travel time. If you want to use online sessions, verify which formats are available and schedule a first meeting to see how the approach and format fit your life.
