01About Jeanette
Jeanette Trotter offers a warm, straightforward approach grounded in respect and compassion. She introduces therapy in plain terms and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood disorders, and relationship concerns. Jeanette holds an IL LCPC, which is the credential she uses in Illinois, and she brings 23 years of professional experience to sessions.
She centers sessions on the person in front of her. Conversations are shaped to fit each client’s needs and goals rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.
Background and approach
That can mean practicing skills for panic attacks one week and talking through communication patterns the next. Jeanette works with common mood concerns such as depression and bipolar challenges. She also helps people navigate life changes, workplace stress, and social anxiety.
Practical tools and clear steps are part of her approach so clients leave with things they can try between sessions. Her style draws on Client-Centered therapy to build trust, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and behavior, and skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation is needed. She also uses ideas from the Gottman Method for relationship communication work.
Sessions can take place by video, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different schedules. Jeanette aims to make the process approachable and to tailor plans so clients can move forward at a pace that feels right.

04Online support
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship. That means sessions start with the client's concerns and the therapist shapes conversation to meet those needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanette will discuss goals, try methods in session, and adjust strategies based on what helps most. The process is collaborative so clients help choose which tools to keep using between meetings.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and practice of new skills, while phone calls can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited. Live chat or text messaging can fit quick check-ins, brief coaching, or days when a short touchpoint helps between sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy lives.
