About Jeana
Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience providing one-on-one therapy in Michigan and online. She focuses on practical support for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and ADHD. Jeana aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Her style is client-centered and down-to-earth. Sessions move at a steady, clear pace. She listens for what matters most, helps set simple goals, and works on skills you can use between meetings.
Background and approach
Jeana draws on several approaches to tailor care to each person. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify and change unhelpful thinking. Mindfulness and acceptance strategies help people tolerate hard feelings and take action toward what matters to them.
She also uses motivational interviewing to clarify goals and increase readiness for change. That approach can help with substance concerns, career shifts, or making small habit changes. Clients often work on mood, relationships, confidence, and coping with life transitions.
Sessions explore how current patterns started and what can be different now. Jeana helps people build concrete routines, communication skills, and strategies for managing attention or stress. Her aim is steady progress rather than quick fixes.
People who prefer a respectful, practical therapist often find her helpful. She welcomes diverse identities and life experiences and works collaboratively to find what fits each person’s life.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then take steps that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and life transitions where direction matters. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns; it often helps with mood, worry, and attention-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person leads the pace and topics, which supports self-exploration and confidence.Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. Jeana treats the choice of approaches as collaborative and adjusts techniques based on a person's needs, goals, and preferences. She checks in regularly to see what is helping and what should change so therapy stays useful and relevant.
Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility. Video makes it easier to read facial cues and hold deeper conversations. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a short break. Live chat and messaging support brief check-ins or ongoing reflection between appointments. These options let people fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping consistent contact with a licensed professional.
