About Jeana
Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a Michigan-based licensed social worker with 22 years of clinical experience. She uses a client-centered way of working and focuses on emotional struggles like depression, anxiety, stress, grief, ADHD, and low self-esteem. She aims to make sessions straightforward and practical for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes or relationship issues.
Her background includes long-term work helping people navigate career stress, addictive behaviors, and intimacy-related concerns. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue, chronic illness, caregiving strain, and aging-related worries. Jeana pays attention to how attachment, abandonment, and blended family dynamics shape daily life.
In sessions she blends several established approaches. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that keep problems going. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages commitment to personal values while accepting difficult feelings. Mindfulness and client-centered methods help people feel heard and become more present.
Jeana works with a broad range of life areas, including relationship and communication problems, body image, BDSM and kink-related concerns, caregiver stress, and coping after trauma or disaster. She brings a calm, nonjudgmental style and prioritizes practical steps that fit each person's situation.
Her practice also addresses complex topics like bipolar mood management, codependency, commitment worries, and sexual/intimacy issues. People who want clear tools and steady support for real-world problems may find her approach helpful.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and then take steps that match their values. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and navigating big life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for depression, anxiety, and stress. Client-Centered Therapy centers the person's own goals and experience, offering space to feel heard and understood while you find your own solutions.Finding the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jeana will work collaboratively to figure out which methods fit a client's goals, preferences, and daily life. She adapts techniques over time as needs change, so the plan evolves together rather than being fixed at the start.
The therapist's biography does not specify which online formats are used, so confirm available session options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy routine, save commute time, and allow shorter check-ins when a quick update is needed. Some formats also use less bandwidth or let you speak without video, which can help on a work break or when a quieter setup is needed.
