About Jeanette Fischer
Jeanette Fischer is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) based in Washington State. She recognizes that life can be hard and messy, and that many people face sudden losses or transitions - from the death of a loved one to the end of a relationship or changes in employment. Jeanette has experience working with both justice-impacted and non-justice-impacted individuals who are navigating depression, anxiety, trauma, grief and loss, and drug and alcohol addiction. Her practice also addresses a wide range of concerns including stress, relationships, parenting, and career challenges.
Her therapeutic style centers on a person-centered, strengths-based, and solution-focused approach that draws heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). She treats therapy as a collaborative opportunity to uncover lessons and strengths within difficult experiences, and she values practicality, humor, mindfulness, and gratitude as tools that support progress. Jeanette emphasizes the client as the expert of their own story and aims to empower people to move toward their goals.
Reaching out for help can feel intimidating, and Jeanette commends those who take that first step. She typically schedules most appointments on Sundays with some availability on Saturdays and weekday evenings, and she works with clients to identify goals and build practical plans to achieve them.

Approaches and Accessibility in Online Therapy
Jeanette integrates several evidence-informed approaches to guide online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thought and behavior patterns - it is useful for anxiety, depression, panic, and many everyday stressors because it emphasizes practical skills and problem solving. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathy, active listening, and supporting the individual's own capacity for growth - this approach helps when people need validation, clearer self-understanding, and collaborative goal setting. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages learning to accept difficult feelings while committing to values-driven action - it is helpful for coping with chronic stress, grief, and ongoing life changes.Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jeanette works collaboratively with clients to determine what fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors techniques over time and invites clients to shape the work together.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how sessions are scheduled and delivered. Video calls and phone sessions let therapists and clients connect in real time, while live chat and text-based messaging provide options for shorter check-ins or more frequent support. These formats can make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, manage transportation or mobility barriers, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions.
