About Jeanne
Jeanne Phung is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Connecticut with 20 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship difficulties, depression, and coping with life changes. Jeanne describes her work as practical and straightforward, helping people make changes that fit daily life.
She has split her career between hospital settings and private practice, with about 10 years in hospitals and 10 years in private practice. That experience includes inpatient care, crisis intervention, intensive outpatient programs, and outpatient treatment. She has treated people who have a range of mental health concerns and substance use issues.
A significant portion of her practice is devoted to anxiety disorders, phobias, obsessive-compulsive disorder, and related concerns. She identifies as an OCD specialist and works with exposure and response prevention. She also uses motivational interviewing to support change and cognitive behavioral techniques to address thoughts and behaviors.
Jeanne describes her sessions as collaborative and solution-focused. She uses tools from solution-focused therapy and supportive therapy to help people set goals and build coping skills. Sessions tend to be concrete, with action steps to try between meetings.
People who want straightforward, experience-based support for anxiety, addiction, or relationship strain may find her approach practical. If someone thinks she might be a fit, the next step is to review session options and schedule an initial meeting to talk about goals and steps forward.
BHow sessions work
How evidence-based techniques are used online
Jeanne uses a few straightforward, evidence-based techniques in her work. Exposure and response prevention (ERP) is a focused method for obsessive-compulsive concerns and some phobias; it involves gradual, supported practice with feared situations while reducing avoidance. Cognitive behavioral approaches help identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and homework between sessions.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jeanne will discuss goals, try methods that fit the person’s needs, and adjust based on what helps. The plan is collaborative so clients have a say in which strategies are tried and how they are applied.
Session formats are not specified in the original biography, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to continue care while juggling work, school, or medical appointments.
