About Jeana
LMFT in California with 17 years of practice, Jeana De Lay focuses on parenting, relationships, anxiety, depression, trauma and related life stressors. She works with adults and couples, and she provides coaching to support goal-focused change. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear communication.
Jeana uses a mix of longer-term therapy and shorter, goal-focused work depending on what a person needs. She teaches parenting skills that cover interaction, communication, and discipline strategies for children at different stages. As a life coach she frames some work around specific goals and action steps to move past obstacles toward those goals.
Her approach includes making a concrete plan with measurable steps. Homework assignments are often part of that plan so people can practice new skills between sessions. She aims to help clients notice behavior patterns, improve communication, and set realistic targets for change.
Jeana commonly supports people who have experienced past trauma or who are in transitional seasons of life. She combines therapeutic techniques with coaching-style goal setting to help people find clearer direction and stronger coping skills.
In sessions she focuses on identifying treatment goals and practical strategies to reach them. Expect straightforward conversation, skill teaching, and collaborative planning that targets relationship patterns, stress reduction, and emotional regulation.

How therapeutic methods are used in online sessions
Jeana draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside coaching methods. One common approach focuses on skill building for emotion regulation and communication. This involves teaching concrete skills, practicing them in session, and assigning exercises to try between meetings to reduce anxiety and improve interactions. Another approach centers on trauma-informed care that helps people process past events at a manageable pace. Work like this looks at responses to past experiences and develops coping strategies to lessen their impact on day-to-day life. Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences together with each person and then recommend whether a longer-term therapy path or a shorter, goal-oriented coaching plan is most useful. The method can change as progress unfolds. Confirm which session formats are available before booking since none are specified here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into a workday, avoid travel time, or choose a shorter check-in when schedules are tight. These practical advantages often help people keep steady progress while balancing other commitments.Sheet 3
