About Jeanie

Jeanie Robertson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 39 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, parenting challenges, and life transitions. She also supports concerns around relationships, eating and body image, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and career issues.

Jeanie welcomes people of varied ages, cultures, beliefs, sexual orientations, and gender identities. She works in a direct, practical way. Sessions aim to identify small, usable steps and build on clients' strengths.

Background and approach

Conversations can include creative tools such as art, writing, music, humor, or reading when those methods help uncover new perspectives. The tone is collaborative and respectful. Jeanie uses approaches that match each person's situation.

That may include client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral strategies, motivational interviewing, solution-focused planning, or parts work through Internal Family Systems. She helps people try techniques and notice what changes in daily life. Her background includes long-term work with people under high stress, including medical trainees and healthcare professionals.

She brings experience across many settings and life stages, and she combines counseling, coaching, and consultation skills. Sessions are offered in English and delivered online through multiple formats. Practical matters such as cost and scheduling vary by location and are handled through the service subscription.

Getting started is a step-by-step process to match clients with the right fit.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jeanie commonly blends client-centered work with cognitive behavioral techniques. Client-centered therapy focuses on careful listening, acceptance, and building on what clients already know about themselves. It helps when someone needs a safe space to sort feelings and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches practical skills to change them, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.

She also uses Motivational Interviewing to support readiness for change. That approach helps clarify personal values and strengths, and it works well when someone feels stuck or unsure about taking the next step. Together these methods offer options for problem-solving, emotional regulation, and goal setting.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jeanie collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals and preferences. She invites trying different techniques and adjusting the plan as progress is noticed.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, giving flexibility for busy schedules. These formats make it easier to fit counseling into daily life, attend from home, or follow up between sessions. The variety of options helps people keep momentum and practice new skills in real time.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Motivational Interviewing

A way of working through mixed feelings about change without being pushed. The therapist helps you weigh things up and find your own reasons, which often makes a difficult decision feel less stuck.
