About Jeanette

Jeanette Gadeberg is a licensed clinical social worker who helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and family or parenting challenges. She brings over 43 years of experience to sessions and offers a steady, practical presence for those facing life changes, grief, self-esteem concerns, or relationship strain. Jeanette practices in Minnesota and conducts work in English.

Her approach is straightforward and goal-oriented. She creates space for people to talk about what feels hard, then helps set small, doable steps to move forward.

Background and approach

Homework between sessions is sometimes suggested to help reflect and practice new ways of coping. Jeanette has a long clinical background that includes work with adoption and foster care issues, attachment concerns, autism and Asperger Syndrome, codependency, and family of origin problems. She also has experience supporting people through divorce, immigration challenges, midlife questions, and panic or mood disorders.

Sessions are offered in several formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Jeanette notes that she prefers live video for appointments because seeing one another can be helpful, and she is open to messaging between sessions. To begin, a person selects the Start Therapy button, completes a short matching questionnaire, and then schedules based on the therapist's availability.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jeanette uses evidence-based techniques that focus on concrete steps and practical coping. One common approach she relies on helps people identify specific thoughts and behaviors that increase anxiety or depression, then practices small changes to reduce distress and build new habits. This method is useful for panic, mood problems, and social anxiety.

Another strand of her work centers on family and attachment patterns. She helps clients look at how family history, adoption or foster care experiences, and relationship dynamics affect current parenting and family interactions, and then works with them to try different ways of connecting and communicating.

Choosing the right approach is part of therapy. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Adjustments are made as the work progresses so that the plan stays practical and relevant.

Online sessions offer flexible ways to meet. Video calls let the therapist and client see each other, while phone, live chat, and text messaging provide alternate options for busy schedules or different comfort levels. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent through life changes and to stay connected between appointments.
