Jeanne Peel , LMFT

Jeanne Peel is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 22 years of experience who focuses on women's issues among a range of concerns. She helps people cope with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship and parenting challenges. Jeanne listens first and works at a steady, respectful pace to understand what matters most to each person.

Her style is warm, interactive, and collaborative. She treats people with sensitivity and aims to meet them where they are. Jeanne believes clients often carry deep answers already and that therapy can help surface and strengthen those insights.

Jeanne draws on several approaches instead of a single method. She uses client-centered and solution-focused ideas to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented. Cognitive behavioral techniques are used to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. Mindfulness and existential ideas are woven in to help with awareness and meaning when people face big life questions.

Her background includes community mental health, residential treatment, private practice, and work doing mental health assessments for an insurance company call center. Jeanne is licensed as an LMFT in Florida and has experience across many settings that shape how she supports people.

People often come to her for help with anger, intimacy-related issues, ADHD, self-esteem, coping with life changes, blended family and communication problems, codependency, divorce and separation, guilt and shame, and forgiveness. Jeanne emphasizes practical steps, personal reflection, and building a strong working relationship to guide change.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Client-Centered Therapy puts the person's experience at the center of sessions, with the therapist offering empathy and reflection to help people find their own solutions. This approach helps when someone needs acceptance and a space to clarify what matters most to them.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and practicing new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and everyday coping skills because it gives clear steps to try between sessions.

Jeanne treats finding the right mix of approaches as a shared process. She will talk with clients about goals, try techniques that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. The decision about which methods to use is collaborative and can change as therapy progresses.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions are good when visual cues and a face-to-face feel matter. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat and text messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day and to have brief check-ins between longer sessions. These options increase flexibility and make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, family, and life demands.
