About Jeanie

Jeanie Staub is a licensed professional counselor with 30 years of experience. She focuses on common concerns parents worry about, including addictions, trauma, anxiety, depression, sleeping and eating issues, and parenting challenges. Her approach is respectful and straightforward, aimed at helping people feel steadier and more capable in day-to-day life.

Jeanie works from a practical, person-centered stance. She listens first, then helps clients set clear, manageable goals. Sessions are tailored to fit each person’s situation rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Background and approach

She emphasizes small, doable steps that build confidence over time. Her methods include cognitive behavioral strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practices to reduce stress in the moment.

Solution-focused techniques help identify what is already working and expand on it. Jeanie brings empathy and patience to the conversation. She adapts language and pacing to match a client’s needs and comfort level.

The aim is to create a collaborative space where clients can try new strategies and track progress. Sessions may cover family and parenting topics among other areas of concern. She provides care in English and works with clients in Arkansas as well as international clients through online formats.

Her license is LPC (AR LPC P0402006).

How Jeanie’s approaches translate to online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to each person’s needs. It helps when someone needs an understanding listener who will shape sessions around their pace and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It offers concrete tools to change patterns that make anxiety, depression, or stress worse.

Choosing a therapeutic approach is a team effort. Jeanie works with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That might mean starting with practical CBT exercises, adding mindfulness to manage stress, or using solution-focused moves to build on what already works. The plan can change as progress is made.

Online therapy makes these approaches easier to access. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation from home, while phone sessions offer a simpler option when video is not possible. Live chat and text messaging let people check in between sessions or use brief exchanges for support. These formats give flexibility for busy family schedules and for clients living outside Arkansas.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
