About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addiction, ADHD, and other life changes. Jeanette uses a down-to-earth style and aims to make starting therapy feel manageable for busy households.
She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in many sessions while also using Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and client-centered ideas. That means she helps clients notice unhelpful thoughts, try small behavior changes, and clarify personal values.
Background and approach
Sessions often include practical steps, mindfulness skills, and moments of gentle humor to ease tension. Jeanette describes her work as strengths-based and solution-focused. She looks for skills people already have and builds from there.
Conversations are collaborative: she helps set clear goals and creates step-by-step plans to reach them. Her background includes work with people affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and drug or alcohol problems. Jeanette has eight years of clinical experience and brings a calm, patient presence to sessions.
She schedules many appointments on Sundays, with some weekend and evening options. Beginning therapy with her involves a short matching process and scheduling based on availability. People who want practical tools, steady support, and a straightforward approach to challenges often find her style helpful.
Therapeutic approaches and online care
Jeanette often uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. ACT combines acceptance of difficult feelings with committed action so people can move forward despite setbacks.She also relies on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and the everyday routines that keep people stuck.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has worked before, then try methods that fit. She adjusts strategies as progress is made and keeps the focus on practical changes and clear goals.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls are good for fuller conversations and nonverbal cues, while phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a busy day. Live chat or text messaging can work for quick check-ins, brief coaching, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options help people stay connected with therapy while balancing work, caregiving, and other responsibilities.
