Jeannette Sedor is a licensed professional counselor who uses practical, goal-focused methods to help people cope with stress and emotional pain. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, relationship strain, low self-esteem, and major life changes. Jeannette emphasizes clear communication and respect in every conversation.

With 17 years of experience, she draws on approaches that help people notice patterns, change unhelpful thoughts, and build stronger coping skills. Sessions aim to be direct and useful, with tools you can try between appointments. Jeannette tailors each plan to fit a person's situation and pace.

She also supports people dealing with trauma and abuse, grief, anger, challenges related to work and career, and chronic health concerns. Additional areas include issues such as abandonment, body image, hospice and end-of-life concerns, first responder stress, and military-related matters. Jeannette pays attention to how life history and relationships shape current struggles.

Her style is warm and practical. She listens first, then works collaboratively to set clear goals. Progress is tracked with small, achievable steps so change feels manageable rather than overwhelming.

Jeannette practices in Virginia as an LPC. Conversations are offered in English and can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging. If you are ready to explore next steps, she helps people move toward more manageable days and clearer choices.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jeannette commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and client-centered therapy in her online work. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors to reduce anxiety, manage depression, and handle panic. Client-centered therapy focuses on empathic listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard and can set their own goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jeannette will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together the therapist and client decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress happens.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. Video calls let people use visual cues for deeper conversation, phone sessions can fit into a work break or require less bandwidth, and messaging or chat supports brief check-ins and written reflection between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into busy schedules and stay consistent with their work toward change.
