About Jeanna

Jeanna Bradley is a licensed clinician who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma. She works with those facing life transitions, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the emotional effects of chronic health problems. Jeanna uses a calm, direct style to help people find practical ways to cope and move forward.

With 12 years of experience, she focuses on improving communication, reducing shame, and building self-worth. Her approach is guided by several therapy methods chosen to match each person's needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Sessions are meant to be collaborative and goal-oriented, with attention to what matters most to each client.

Jeanna has supported people across a range of situations, including caregivers, veterans, older adults, and workers facing job stress. She also works with people navigating grief, intimacy issues, ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, and the emotional toll of chronic illness and cancer. Her additional focus areas include boundaries, family of origin questions, and forgiveness work.

In the room, Jeanna uses straightforward tools to help clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice new skills. She combines acceptance-based strategies, cognitive techniques, and client-centered listening to create space for change. The overall aim is to help people feel more capable, connected, and able to handle everyday demands.

Jeanna holds licensure as LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) and LCPC (Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor) in Illinois. People who prefer sessions in English will find that language supported. To begin, readers should use the site Start Therapy flow to match and schedule a session.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then focus on actions that match their values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with chronic health conditions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It often helps with anxiety, mood problems, and managing stress.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeanna treats it as a team effort, asking about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together a plan is shaped that blends acceptance, skill building, and client-centered listening to fit each person's needs.

The therapist's biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it simpler to keep continuity of care when health or caregiving demands make in-person visits hard. Licensed professionals adapt methods such as ACT and CBT to video or phone settings so people can practice skills and track progress between meetings.
