About Jeanna

Jeanna Bradley is a licensed therapist in Illinois who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, and parenting challenges. She also supports clients struggling with trauma, relationship and intimacy issues, career transitions, and coping with life changes. Jeanna holds LMHC and LCPC credentials and brings 12 years of clinical experience to her work.

Her style is straightforward and warm. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear communication. She listens and then offers tools drawn from several evidence-based approaches.

Background and approach

Clients can expect a calm, nonjudgmental space to talk through what matters most. Jeanna uses therapies that teach skills for managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior. She might introduce techniques to reduce anxiety, ways to notice difficult feelings, and exercises to clarify personal values.

Over time these tools aim to help people make choices that fit their goals. In sessions she blends structured methods with a client-centered focus. That means she adapts tools to each person’s needs and pace.

The goal is steady progress rather than quick fixes. Her background includes work with people dealing with chronic illness, caregiver stress, compassion fatigue, and issues related to aging and life transitions. Jeanna applies her training to help clients build resilience and clearer communication skills.

She aims to support lasting changes in daily life.

Online approaches that focus on values and skills

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and then act in ways that match their values. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and big life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change thinking patterns and behaviors that keep problems going. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and managing stress. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the therapist listens closely and follows the client’s lead to support personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss these methods and decide together which fits best for a client’s goals, needs, and comfort. Sessions can blend approaches and adjust over time so the plan feels useful and realistic.

Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options let clients keep therapy going around work, caregiving, or health constraints and make it easier to use skills between sessions. Licensed professionals can deliver the same core techniques through these formats while adapting exercises and homework so they work well online.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
