More about Jeanette
- 40 years' experience
- Female
- LMHC
I am an outpatient Co-occurring Mental Health and Substance Abuse Counselor Licensed in Indiana with over 36 years of experience providing a wide range of treatment services to non-inpatient and non-partial hospitalization hurting people. Individual Therapy and Group Psycho-Education Therapy have been the foundation of services I have provided. Additionally, I have worked with Trauma-Impacted people for many years.
Overall health and wellness represent my counseling style. My counseling approach is solution focused integrating and incorporating mostly Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Reality Therapy (RT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI) to empower and to promote self-efficacy in people.
I utilize the unique situations of every person to design an Individual Treatment Plan that addresses the presented and expressed needs of each person seeking service. I understand how difficult it is to reach out for help and I also understand the power and confidence gained in healing the wounded child.
The first step is getting started. If you are ready to start your journey, I look forward to helping you create and live your success story.
Specialties:
*Depression
*Anxiety
*Addictions/Disorders
*PTSD/Trauma
*Coping Skills/Tools
*Self Esteem/Self Image
*Communication Problems
*Relationship Issues
I am comfortable with and have experience providing a variety of therapeutic treatment approaches and life skill enhancement strategies. Efficacy is the end result of a person’s motivation, application and implementation efforts to embrace change that aligns with the person’s desired outcome. What I don’t know, I learn. Where I can help, I do. My primary focus is overall health and wellness.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

I don’t know how she does it, but Mrs. Jeanette continues to amaze me with her intuition, guidance and professional knowledge. I simply couldn’t be in better hands. She is the BEST!
I appreciate you Jeanette. Thank you
I have TRULY enjoyed my sessions with Ms. Grissom! She has definitely helped me to reaffirm the confidence that I have in myself; while assisting me in navigating through many of the things that I'm presently going through. Ms. Grissom is very kind, a great listener and very understanding. She truly takes the time to evaluate her clients in order to analyze them as a whole and that's exactly what I wanted
I’ve only had one session with her but she’s helped me more than anyone else has. Very nice and knowledgeable
10 out of 10. Perfect fit for my needs and her expertise on how to provide me the personalized support I need is phenomenal. Thanks, Jeanette!
I really appreciate Jeanette! She is kind, funny and experienced. I highly recommend her!

Jeannette is awesome. She blends serious and funny really well. She is also very informative and understanding.
Highly recommend Jeanette to anyone, she exceeds all of my expectations and is a very caring and compassionate person when helping me navigate my issues in my life. I am very lucky to have found her on Better Help!
I appreciate the fact Jeanette wants me to use action steps to provide change in my life!
I’ve never done therapy before and I strongly believe that BetterHelp couldn’t have given me a better therapist. Going into my first session I was extremely anxious, but the level of comfortability Jeanette provides makes me feel like I’m speaking to a relative. I truly feel seen as a person and not like a “patient”. I enjoy my sessions with Jeanette so much they’ve become the highlight of my day!
I am thankful we We were matched
Jeanette is a wonderful listener and makes great connections, getting to the heart of the problem.
She is such a wonder therapist. It’s obvious she has so much experience and expertise, and I’ve noticed a shift in my thinking and well being already in the short time I have been working with her so far.
Jeanette has been very helpful to me and I have learned so much in just two sessions, I look forward to continuing to work with her!
Jeanette has been fantastic. Her kindness, humor, and compassion make her easy to tell anything. She picks up on who you are and how you are very quickly, which allows her to hone in on helping you very quickly.
I’ve only had one session with her, but I can’t wait for the next. I love how she listens and then responds with feedback and gets clarity that she is receiving the information correctly. She is a very sweet and personable. I highly recommend her to anybody!
Jeanette is such a great supporter! I truly look forward to our sessions. She provides practical therapy practices that truly deal with the root of my challenges. I would definitely recommend her to anyone looking for a practical effective therapist that likes to have a little fun in the midst of it.
Very kind, intelligent, and helpful.
Ms Grissom is an absolute joy! I’m very appreciative of her!
Jeanette allows me to express myself. I’m able to view situations in a different perspective. Within a few weeks I’ve learned how to approach situations differently. I’ve thoroughly enjoyed my sessions with Jeanette!!!
I strongly recommend her for anyone that needs a listening ear. She is my first therapist and I don’t plan to replace her. She always reminds me of my goals and what I have accomplished so far. I have been with her for almost a month and I feel so comfortable talking to her about anything and her personality is so sweet it Just makes it much easier to open up. I signed up for single therapy but she puts my partners and family needs in as well I love that! I love how she checks up on you after the session too to get feedback. She has made my experience so welcoming
She is already making a tremendous positive impact on me! I love how driven she is for success and helping to better me! She provides clarity and roots for me! I am very blessed for her to come into my life!
I highly recommend Jeanette. She is very attentive in addressing my life issues and she is highly talented in advising strategies for me to cope with my circumstances. I would refer anyone to her!
Jeanette does well and knows what she's doing
Jeanette does a great job listening and is very supportive.
Jeanette is great. Very knowledgeable and helpful.
God knew exactly what I was needing in my therapist! I've grown to look forward to my sessions with her as she has been a beacon of support in my life. Leaving a session with a good laugh and uplifted mood, even when we've discussed some difficult things, gives me confidence in my growth. Jeanette has been amazing and I would refer who to everyone I know if I could.
Jeanette has a kind but capable countenance . She has a joyful attitude about life and it is contagious.
Mrs. J. is awesome! I simply can’t imagine where I would be without her guidance and wisdom. She is patient and kind and so knowledgeable and experienced. And she’s so responsive that I always feel supported and heard. She’s simply the best!
I am so grateful for Jeanette and how she listened well to to a long time struggle I have not been able to work with. She was very quick to have insight and compassion to my issues!
I love Jeanette. She is the best.
Jeanette is taking me places that are allowing me to thrive in my mental health. She makes me accountable to continue to strive forward. Her work has enabled me to have better personal and professional relationships.
I have only had a few sessions with Jeanette but she is straight forward & does not sugar coat anything. She is helpful & challenges me to see things the way they are & not how I want them to be.
Jeanette listens, but is also so very experienced that she's able to bridge the gap, even when I'm not able to. I really appreciate that quality, especially as someone who's mindset has had to change about mental wellbeing; she's made the transition so much easier!
She’s a awesome person and very in tune with me , I feel.. I highly recommend her for your therapy needs!!
Nine months in and I just can’t imagine where I would be without Ms. Jeanette! She has become such a strong influence in my healing journey and I am forever thankful for her supreme guidance, professional knowledge, compassionate support and infinite wisdom.
Extremely awesome therapist who listens through and through to my concerns and delivers a sound perspective to help me find comfort in the issues that I'm having.
Jeannette goes above and beyond when it comes to my care and mental health. She is amazingly supportive which has helped my therapy immensely.
Listens but pushes when need be. Has more than one approach to a problem or a solution
Very sweet and smart. She helps me figure things out about myself i never even knew.
I have high expectations for all my health professionals I choose to go to, so finding the right therapist was paramount! Jeanette relieved my nervousness right away and although we’re just beginning the journey together, I have confidence that she is the right person to work with. She has already provided me insight into services that I did not know existed for my situation in which I’m seeking therapy. She also is very prompt about communication and sets the tone with the perfect blend of care, guidance, and accountability. I look forward to seeing the person I am in 6 months after having working with her.
Mrs. Jeanette is awesome, she helped me get my peace back.
Ms. Jeanette has changed my life in so many amazing ways. I simply can’t imagine my healing journey without her guidance and presence. Her therapeutic expertise is so valuable and on point that I trust her wholeheartedly with the deepest aspects of my life week after week, month after month. She corrects and validates me in the most beautifully balanced ways and I simply don’t know what I would do without her. Every session starts and ends on time. And she always checks on me between them to make sure I’m okay. I never feel alone. She’s always there to listen, affirm, support and advise. I couldn’t ask for a better therapist. She is truly a Godsend.
There isn’t enough words to explain how helpful Jeannette has been. She understands my needs, concerns thoughts and is able to articulate it in a way I can understand, process and implement her recommendations. I wish everyone could have Jeanette as a therapist. ❤️
I have been with Jeanette only two weeks but, I feel comfortable talking to her. She takes the time to understand my pain and what I am going through l. Also she gives me work sheet to identify where my strong points are then. She helps me work on my weak points so I can get better with my week points.
She is an amazing person couldn't ask for a better therapist
Jeanette is fantastic
Jeanette has been awesome to work with during my therapy. She says things how they are while bing kind. I highly recommend her to anyone that is struggling. She will help you find a way.
I've been meeting with Jeanette since April of 2022. In the time she has helped me recognize what it is that I'm needing in my own life, not just from others, but from myself. She allows me to work at my own pace while encouraging growth and improvement. I'm thankful every day to have her as my therapist. I hope everyone in the world has an opportunity to have someone like Jeanette in their life.
Jeanette will help you find your courage for living the life you want, starting on DAY ONE.
Ms. Jeanette is such a blessing to me. I literally don’t know where I would be without having met her. Her expertise is so helpful and valuable. She listens and engages in a way I’ve never experienced with any other therapist. She is kind, personable, thorough and friendly. I absolutely love her personality and her insights have helped me make great progress after literally being emotionally stuck for almost 8 years. She is a Godsend and she came at just the perfect time to help me understand the deep roots of my grief, resolve it, begin healing and find peace. I am beyond thankful for all that she is as a therapist. I absolutely adore her!
I love working with her. My life has improved a lot. She is always real with me and helps me to face my fears.
Jeanette Grissom has been exactly the therapist I needed. She has helped me navigate the most difficult time in my life and I feel I've made a great deal of progress. Close friends and family have expressed the same thing. She has made a very positive difference in my life.
An amazing and the best therapist I have had in my whole entire life. She has shown me so much, and I am so happy to be able to move forward with her guidance!
She was very helpful and thoughtful and helped create positive and healthy boundaries
Relatable…
Jeanette had been very supportive and insightful so far during our therapy sessions.
She never showed up for my session. She also never told me she was not going to come to session. I do not recommend this woman.
Jeanette is a very good with listing and trying to understand what the issue is and how to address it.
I love my therapist!! ❤️❤️❤️
Made ableist comments and when confronted about how this made me feel unsafe, she doubled down and did not try to rectify her mistake. She lacked tact (which was dangerous and put me in an emotionally unsafe place) and thus I have made the decision to seek a new counselor.
She's my angel for sure it's so nice to know she's always there in my time of need
What does ‘Wellness’ mean to you? As you journey toward your wellness with Ms. Grissom, she will help you *help your self* with building the pieces of your Wellness puzzle. Then she will help you find *Your Way* of fitting those pieces of your puzzle together in a way that works for You! Keep Going!
When I foster started therapy I was absolutely scared too luckily I was matched with Jeanette I started therapy this year in February and ever since then she’s been very helpful and understanding she pushed me to finally reach out for further help with mental illness and I’m more than thankful she did she’s been nothing buh help for me these last 5months❤️
Jeanette tells me like it is. Says what I need to hear when I’m venting about what’s going on with me and gives me encouragement to be better.
She is a very kind and caring person. She validates my thoughts and feelings while providing a positive outlook on my issues. Jeanette has been making my first time reaching out for help as easy as it could be.
I love my therapist. ❤️
I have only had one session with Jeanette, but right off the bat I felt a sense of comfort and support with her. As our session went on, that comfort continued. I look forward to continuing my path to growth and healing with her.
I have the best Jeanette Grissom she’s a angel sent to me thank god for her everyday
Therapy has just begun so I feel I can’t give a complete review at this time. However it’s clear she’s very knowledgeable and concerned about my well-being. She also communicated frequently.
Jeanette is fantastic in so many facets of counciling. She is always punctual to our appointments and is prepared with what we've discussed over the app since our last meeting. Our conversations are meaningful to me because she listens so well and her responses always give me pause to consider things I haven't before. We have a nice process to summarize our conversations key takeaways at the end, and she reinforces this with her own written summary on the app along with any supporting worksheets immediately after our conversation is finished. She follows up and checks in-between our appointments on the app too. There have been many times where she has helped me through some challenging times through our communication over the app between appointments . I can't say enough about Jeanette and her professional manor and her personal care. She is so good for me and my girls. Thank you so much for matching me with her!!!
She will address Your Truths with care and warm support. Ms. Jeanette is the embodiment of “The Oracle” from the film “The Matrix.”
Jeanette is exactly what I needed. She offers wise insight, tough love when I need it, and gentleness when I need that. She helped me turn around and recognize what I needed to do, step by step. I love her and would recommend her to anyone in need of these services.
Mrs.Grissom has changed my life in so many great ways including mental, spiritual and physical health. She’s such a joy and you can tell that she really cares about her clients. I feel like an absolute new person in every way. I face life challenges with much ease and joy. I no longer have knots in my shoulders from stress. I used to get a massages and they would go down some but come back the same or bigger. Since seeing Mrs.Grissom those knots have not been back and I just feel so much lighter. I’m no longer depressed and I grateful to her. I’ve had at least 10 therapist in my lifetime and Mrs.Grissom is by far the best. Finding a therapist is similar to finding the perfect doctor. Once you do you don’t want to let them go. Granted I do the mental work needed but oh how she compliments the work I do. I always look forward to our talks and she’s always responsive. I am forever grateful. Thank you!!!
She is helping me work through so much from my childhood that I had not dealt with.
She is very intuitive, she knows things that are bothering me without me even saying it. She has been very supportive and has wonderful advise on how to deal with stressful situations.
I always feel so much better after talking to Jeanette. I am so thankful that I was matched with her. I genuinely feel better and am more at peace with things than I thought was possible. My only regret is not working with her decades ago.
We’ve only completed one session, but already Miss Jeanette has been helpful in holding me accountable. I am excited to be working with her and hopeful we’ll make quick progress in meeting my goals together.
Jeanette is a charismatic, kind, knowledgeable, and wise woman. She has helped me in more ways than I knew a therapist could and am so thankful that I was able to spend time with her. She did an exceptional job helping me cope with my anxiety at home and work and gave me the practical processes and tools to live a better life moving forward. I could not recommend Jeanette, enough!
I love Jeanette. She is so sweet and understanding. I don’t like it when she tells me things I don’t want to hear, but that’s her job. 15/10 for her review.
Jeanette is an amazing therapist. Her ability to give real world application to help and tough love has strengthen me and she is amazing.

Grand service
Jeanette has been great in the short time that I have worked with her. I feel she understands my concerns, checks in with me between our sessions, and has provided some exercises that have made an immediate impact in my daily living. I am very happy and feel lucky to have been paired with Jeanette. Thank you!
I am so grateful to have been matched with Ms Grissom. She knows when I need tough love and when I need tender care. She shares wisdom and encouragement with compassion at all times. I have grown so much in our time together & starting to believe in myself. She is a precious lady and I have loved working with her.
Mrs. Jeanette has been amazing for my journey for growth and healing. I love how she has such a huge impact with her words in such a concise way. She gives helpful homework that actually makes a difference. She’s a great listener and a joy to speak with. She’s added so much to my life. Always has a joyful and positive attitude. Love her and I am confident she does this because she has a passion for it and the people she helps. Thank you so much!
Jeanette is a wonderful therapist. Even more, she is a wonderful person. Loving and caring. She has helped me so much!!!
I enjoy working with Jeanette♥️
Counselor is responsive and when needed “tough”’for lack of a better term
Jeanette has been amazing. She understands my concerns and knows how to get back on the right track towards healing. She supports me every step of the way. I highly recommend Jeanette to anyone!
Working with Jeanette has been very helpful--she is kind and down-to-earth, and her explanations are always easy to understand and apply.
I think she is a very good counselor .
She is very kind and patient, this is tough to find during a time like COVID with all the distrust in the world today.
Ms Grissom has been exactly what I needed. She is gently encouraging and equally capable of "tough love" as it were, when required. She has thorough knowledge of the subject matter and plenty of ideas. She has helped me get back on track. I'm super grateful for our connection.
I absolutely love her. So easy to talk to her. I told her just a snippet of what was going on with me and she had a response as though I spilled out everything. She just knew without knowing much from my story. There’s so many great things to say after just one session. I look forward to every session with her. I highly recommend Jeanette what a beautiful person with such a lovely spirit.
Janette is fantastic to speak with. She listens and makes such a welcoming environment to speak in. She's just so nice and caring.
Jeanette is so kind and warm! i love working with her as she is so comforting to me
Jeanette is a very kind and professional counselor. She listens very well and advocates her counseling in a way that is specifically designed for you and the best part of her practice is that she leaves you feeling like you can improve not that YOU NEED TO. Whether you need to is less imperative as to you can ! Many people don’t want to be told that they need to be told to do something rather than receive the help and encouragement to do it ! I would suggest her to anybody that is going through substance abuse problems , relationship problems or problems that are internal.
I appreciate that she gave me time to talk and she listened but then engaged with me in conversation after rather than just listening or just trying to talk to me. I felt good after talking with her and feel like I have things to work on. I’m looking forward to speaking with her again.
She has been an amazing therapist and support during my sessions with her. I highly recommend Jeanette! She is a blessing.
