About Jeanette
Jeanette Garza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in California with 25 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship challenges, grief, and coping with life changes. Her work also includes attention to forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and social anxiety and phobia.
She has a long history of supporting clients through life transitions and difficult events. Sessions are conversational and practical. She helps people name what feels overwhelming and develop steps they can use between meetings.
Her background includes many years working with people adjusting to parenthood and responding to birth-related trauma and medical complications. That experience informs how she supports those facing loss, grief, and sudden change. She uses straightforward talk and pacing that fits daily life.
In sessions she listens for patterns in thinking and behavior that keep problems stuck. Then she suggests small shifts to try and evaluates what helps. She encourages tracking progress in concrete ways so change feels measurable rather than abstract.
She asks questions about routines, relationships, and responsibilities to make recommendations that fit actual schedules and limits. Jeanette emphasizes practical coping skills and problem-solving alongside emotional processing. The result is work that connects everyday pressures like work, money, and family with therapeutic goals.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Jeanette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common problems like anxiety and grief. For example, she draws on behavioral strategies that teach specific skills for managing anxiety and social phobia, such as testing unhelpful assumptions and practicing new responses in small steps. These techniques help reduce avoidance and make social situations feel more manageable.She also uses practical interventions for addiction-related issues that focus on coping strategies and relapse prevention. That work often involves identifying triggers, planning concrete responses, and building routines that reduce risk. For grief and life transitions she applies supportive problem-solving and paced processing so emotions are named and addressed without overwhelming daily responsibilities.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques to try first based on needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in and adjusting methods if something is not helping.
Confirm session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific online methods. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It can also accommodate people who prefer not to be on camera or who need simpler arrangements during a workday. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so progress continues between visits.
