About Jeanette
Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Illinois with 23 years of experience, Jeanette Trotter focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, bipolar disorder, depression, and coping with life changes. She practices client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches, and uses elements of the Gottman Method for relationship work.
Jeanette frames sessions around the client's immediate priorities. Conversations are direct and practical. She listens to the problem and then works with the person to set clear short-term goals they can act on between meetings.
Her approach draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking and develop alternative coping skills. Dialectical Behavior Therapy tools are used when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. The Gottman Method informs work on communication and repairing relationship patterns.
Over two decades in practice have brought experience with mood disorders and panic attacks, as well as workplace stress and social anxiety. Jeanette also supports people dealing with post-traumatic stress, forgiveness, and finding life purpose.
Sessions are structured but collaborative. The clinician helps people try new skills, track progress, and adjust plans when something isn’t working. Practical homework and behavior-focused tasks are common.
People who want straightforward, skills-based help for mood, anxiety, or relationship strain will find an emphasis on clear steps and measurable change. To start, follow the site’s process to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule a first session.

How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy is built around listening and responding to what the person brings each session. It focuses on understanding concerns from the client’s point of view and shaping sessions around their immediate priorities.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) concentrates on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It’s useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors because it leads to practical skills people can practice between meetings.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) supplies concrete skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. These tools are often used when mood swings, panic, or strong reactive behavior interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals, try techniques, and adapt methods based on how a person responds. That collaboration helps select which strategies to keep and which to change over time.
Confirm current session formats before booking, as the biography does not list specific delivery methods. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday or handle short check-ins when schedules are tight. They also allow people to practice skills in everyday settings and quickly review homework between appointments.
