About Jeanie
Jeanie Garrell is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Tennessee with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse, parenting struggles, and self-esteem issues. Her practice also addresses communication problems, control struggles, divorce and separation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and money and financial concerns.
Jeanie uses straightforward conversation to help people clarify what matters to them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking rather than jargon. She adjusts how she talks and plans work based on each person's situation and goals.
In sessions she listens for patterns that keep people stuck, such as harsh self-judgment or rigid control behaviors. From there she helps clients test small changes and notice what shifts. She encourages concrete practices people can try between sessions to build new habits and perspectives.
She aims to communicate respectfully and with sensitivity. That includes acknowledging feelings connected to past family, faith, or relationship experiences without minimizing them. Jeanie invites people to bring real examples from day-to-day life to shape the work.
People who come in feeling overwhelmed by guilt or shame are offered ways to separate past actions from current identity and to rehearse alternate self-talk. She also helps those navigating practical relationship decisions, parenting strain, or the fallout of separation to make clearer choices about next steps.
How evidence-based techniques are used in online sessions
Jeanie draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to structure sessions in clear, practical ways. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing alternative, realistic thoughts; this helps when anxiety, shame, or harsh self-judgment keep someone stuck. Another approach emphasizes behavioral experiments and small actionable steps to change patterns of avoidance or control; this is useful for stress, relationship habits, and parenting challenges.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as progress and feedback emerge. The aim is to find techniques that feel doable and relevant to everyday life.
