About Jeanne
LCSW in Connecticut with 20 years of experience. Jeanne Phung helps people with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship problems, depression, and coping with life changes. She works with teens, adults, and couples and focuses much of her practice on anxiety disorders and OCD related concerns.
She spent ten years working in hospital settings and ten years in private practice. That mix of inpatient, crisis intervention, intensive outpatient, and outpatient work shaped how she assesses risk and supports people through difficult moments. Jeanne identifies as an OCD specialist and uses exposure and response prevention as a core technique for obsessive-compulsive symptoms.
Her approach includes practical methods such as motivational interviewing and cognitive behavioral strategies. She also uses solution-focused techniques to set short-term goals and supportive therapy when people need steady guidance. Sessions tend to focus on clear steps, skills to manage symptoms, and small changes that add up over time.
Jeanne frames substance use concerns the same way she treats other clinical issues: as problems that can be understood and addressed with structured work. When addiction is part of the picture, she combines motivational methods with behavioral strategies. For relationship stress she helps partners and individuals clarify patterns and learn different ways of communicating.
She conducts therapy in English and does not accept international clients. Practical next steps are to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site.

Approaches used in remote work and what they do
Jeanne commonly uses exposure and response prevention to address obsessive-compulsive symptoms. This method involves gradual, supported exposure to feared thoughts or situations while practicing new responses that reduce rituals and avoidance. It is often used for OCD and related anxiety problems.She also applies cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and test them with behavioral experiments. These techniques help people reduce anxiety and depression by changing how they think and act. Motivational interviewing is used when substance use or ambivalence about change is present; it helps people build readiness and set achievable goals.
Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jeanne will review your concerns and preferences, suggest a plan, and adjust methods as you make progress. The early sessions typically focus on assessment and establishing specific, measurable goals together.
The site biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and offer flexibility when travel or work commitments make in-person visits difficult. Licensed professionals can adapt techniques like exposure work and cognitive behavioral exercises for remote meetings, and the therapist will discuss how to structure sessions to match practical needs.
