About Jeanie

Jeanie Garrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Tennessee. She draws on eight years of direct clinical work to help people facing stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, and self-esteem challenges. Jeanie speaks plainly and aims to make the first steps into therapy feel manageable for anyone thinking about reaching out.

She focuses on practical conversations that fit each person’s situation. Sessions are shaped around what matters most to the client, with an eye toward improving communication, managing control issues, and rebuilding confidence.

Background and approach

Jeanie also addresses life issues such as divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and money and financial stress. Her style centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion. Rather than a one-size-fits-all plan, she tailors discussions and treatment approaches to individual needs and goals.

Clients can expect straightforward guidance and tools they can try between sessions. Jeanie encourages people who are nervous about starting therapy. She recognizes that taking that first step can take courage, and she makes space for that feeling in early sessions.

Over time she helps clients set realistic goals and track small changes that matter in daily life. Work with Jeanie is offered in English and conducted through online formats. She brings steady support and clear communication to each session while helping clients find workable strategies for everyday stresses and relationships.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Jeanie uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques focused on clear skills and real-life steps. One approach emphasizes teaching practical coping strategies for stress and anxiety, such as breathing techniques, activity planning, and small behavior changes that reduce overwhelm. These tools help people regain day-to-day control when worry or tension feels constant.

Another common focus is improving communication and managing conflict. Sessions include guided conversations and role-based practice so clients can try new ways of speaking and listening. This work can support people facing relationship strain, control issues, or challenges after separation.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanie collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and comfort level. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helpful and what needs to change, so therapy remains practical and goal-oriented.

Online therapy offers several ways to stay connected through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to continue support when in-person meetings are difficult. The variety of options helps people use the style of communication that works best for them while accessing licensed professional care from Tennessee.
