About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, parenting challenges, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps and steady support so parents and adults can find more balance and confidence. Her style is down-to-earth and encouraging, with a straightforward tone that many people find easy to follow.
She favors a person-centered, strengths-based way of working.
Background and approach
Sessions combine talk, problem-solving, and skill building drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. Jeanette also uses mindfulness, humor, and moments of gratitude to make progress feel manageable rather than overwhelming. Her background includes eight years working with people affected by depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and substance use concerns.
She has experience with clients who have had contact with the justice system as well as those who have not. That range informs her practical approach to everyday struggles. In sessions she helps people set clear goals and break them into small actions.
She emphasizes the client's own knowledge of their life and uses that as the starting point for change. Expect a conversational tone and concrete tools you can try between meetings. Jeanette typically holds appointments on Sundays, with some Saturday and weekday evening availability.
To begin, she asks people to identify goals, then together they build a plan that fits the person's routine and responsibilities.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then commit to actions that match their values. It can be useful for stress, anxiety, and navigating life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and trying small, practical behavior changes to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and panic symptoms.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will listen to a client's goals and preferences, then suggest approaches that fit. Together they will try strategies, adjust based on what helps, and build a plan suited to the person's life and responsibilities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls work well when visual cues matter, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, chat allows quick check-ins, and messaging supports brief updates or questions between visits. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into busy schedules, weekend routines, or evening time slots without long commutes.
