About Jeanette
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) practicing in Washington. She focuses on helping people who feel overwhelmed by stress, anger, anxiety, addiction, grief, and other life changes. Her style is calm and down-to-earth, and she values humor and small moments of gratitude during hard times.
She uses a person-centered, strengths-based approach that keeps the client in charge of their story. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy inform how she helps clients notice patterns and try new ways of coping.
Background and approach
Sessions are practical and aim to build skills people can use between meetings. Jeanette has eight years of clinical experience. She has worked with people affected by trauma, depression, substance use, and grief.
Her background includes supporting those who have been involved with the justice system as well as others facing life transitions and caregiving stress. In sessions she works collaboratively to set clear goals and develop step-by-step plans. She often teaches breathing and grounding tools, thought-challenging techniques, and communication strategies to help manage impulsivity, anger, and panic.
Her approach combines skill-building with attention to emotions and relationships. People who choose her can expect a straightforward, accepting practitioner who encourages practical changes and small progress. She schedules many appointments on weekends and during weeknight evenings to fit different routines.

Evidence-based approaches for online care
Jeanette draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people make concrete changes. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety, panic, and depressive symptoms. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice suffering without getting stuck and commit to actions that match their values, which is useful for anger, grief, and life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That can mean mixing skill-based CBT work with ACT exercises or including DBT mindfulness and emotion regulation tools when impulsivity or strong emotions are present.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different situations. Video is useful for deeper conversation and teaching new skills. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging support brief check-ins, coaching-style guidance, or follow-up between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep regular momentum toward goals.
