Evidence-Based Approaches and Online Care

Jeanne Brown practices a non-directive, person-centered approach that emphasizes empathy, active listening, and the client’s own capacity for growth. This approach supports adults and adolescents facing anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and life transitions by creating space for individuals to identify goals and discover solutions at their own pace.

For children and younger clients she uses play therapy, which employs play as the primary means of communication and healing. Play therapy helps children process emotions, develop coping skills, and work through behavioral and developmental concerns in an accessible, age-appropriate way.

Jeanne also brings focused experience with substance use and addictive behaviors, applying training that helps clients understand patterns, explore motivation for change, and build practical coping strategies. She works collaboratively to tailor treatment to each person’s needs and goals, discussing options and adjusting methods as the relationship develops.

Online therapy with Jeanne is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing for flexible scheduling and ongoing contact. These options help clients balance therapy with work, family, and daily life while maintaining continuity of care with licensed professionals.
