About Jeanette
Jeanette Garza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, LCSW, licensed in California with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and coping with life changes. Jeanette also pays attention to issues like forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia. She works with adults who are facing shifts in work, relationships, health, or parenting roles and who feel stuck or unsure what comes next.
Jeanette draws on long experience supporting people through sudden or difficult transitions. She listens to what matters most and helps people name the practical problems under the worry. Sessions tend to center on discussing current challenges, testing small changes, and reflecting on how patterns affect day-to-day life.
Her background includes many years working in perinatal mental health and providing emotional support for people adjusting to new parenthood, birth trauma, and caring for medically fragile newborns. That work informs how she supports grieving and loss, and how she helps people manage anxiety around life changes.
In a meeting with Jeanette, clients can expect straightforward conversation about problems and possible next steps. She encourages honest talk about guilt, shame, and what a meaningful next move might look like. Practical coping techniques are paired with time to process strong emotions.
Jeanette offers sessions in English and works from California. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Costs vary with location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Jeanette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on changing unhelpful patterns and teaching practical coping skills. One common approach addresses anxious thoughts by helping people notice triggers, test unhelpful predictions, and try small behavioral experiments to reduce avoidance and worry. This can help with generalized anxiety and social anxiety concerns.Another approach focuses on processing grief and difficult emotions. It combines time to talk through painful memories with strategies to manage overwhelming feelings and maintain everyday functioning. This helps people carry on while they adapt to loss or major life changes, including shifts after childbirth or medical stressors.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeanette collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She will adjust techniques as progress and new issues emerge so the plan stays practical and relevant.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, avoid travel time, and choose a setup that works with family or work schedules. Some formats let people use audio only for shorter check-ins or save bandwidth, while others use video for more interactive work; practical needs often guide the choice rather than the approach itself.
