Jeanette Grissom , LMHC

Jeanette Grissom is an outpatient co-occurring mental health and substance abuse counselor licensed in Indiana with 40 years of clinical experience. She practices as an LMHC, which stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor, and has spent decades providing individual therapy and group psycho-education to people seeking help outside of inpatient or partial hospitalization settings.

Her work has a strong focus on trauma-impacted individuals and emphasizes overall health and wellness as central to the counseling process. Jeanette favors a solution-focused approach that integrates cognitive behavioral therapy along with reality therapy and motivational interviewing to build self-efficacy and empower change. She uses each person’s unique circumstances to shape an individualized treatment plan that addresses the concerns the person presents and expresses.

Jeanette understands how difficult it can be to reach out for help and draws on practical tools to support healing, including work that attends to the wounded child and the development of coping skills. Her practice addresses a broad range of concerns such as depression, anxiety, addictions, PTSD and trauma, self-esteem, relationship and communication problems, grief, parenting challenges, anger, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and stress related to caregiving and life transitions. She welcomes people who are ready to begin a recovery journey and supports them in creating and living their success story.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jeanette draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and EMDR in her clinical work. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions, relationship difficulties, and coping with life changes. Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing is a trauma-focused approach that helps process and reduce the impact of traumatic memories, supporting recovery from past trauma.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jeanette works collaboratively with people to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts treatment plans to what proves most helpful and supports clients as they try different strategies.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for scheduling and continuity of care. These formats make it easier for people to access licensed professionals from home, balance therapy with daily responsibilities, and practice new skills between sessions.
