About Jeanette

Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington who offers a practical, strengths-oriented approach for people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, depression, and other life transitions.

Background and approach

She emphasizes collaboration and treats clients as the experts in their own stories while drawing on evidence-informed techniques to build skills and resilience. Fischer blends client-centered and solution-focused perspectives with a strong reliance on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify patterns, reframe unhelpful thinking, and develop concrete strategies for coping.

Mindfulness, humor, and gratitude are woven into sessions as tools to support emotional regulation and small daily progress. Her style is relaxed but purposeful, aiming to find lessons and strengths even in difficult experiences.

With eight years of clinical experience, she has supported people navigating trauma, substance use concerns, relationship and family strains, parenting challenges, career transitions, compassion fatigue, and end-of-life issues. Availability often includes weekend and evening appointments to accommodate varied schedules, and she works in English from her Washington practice.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jeanette frequently uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, offering concrete strategies for anxiety, depression, panic, and impulsivity. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy is another tool she draws on to support values-driven action and learning how to live alongside difficult thoughts or emotions rather than being controlled by them. Client-Centered Therapy informs her overall stance, emphasizing empathy and listening so clients feel heard and respected as they explore goals.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process; she works with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions may blend techniques rather than sticking to a single model, and the therapist partners with clients to adjust the plan over time based on what proves most helpful.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and communication styles. These options make it easier to access regular support around work, family, or other commitments while maintaining continuity of care across appointments.
