About Jeanette
Jeanette Garza is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in California with 25 years of professional experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship concerns, grief, and coping with life changes, and also works with issues around forgiveness, guilt and shame, life purpose, and social anxiety.
She has substantial experience supporting people through the perinatal period, including adjusting to new parenthood, processing birth-related trauma, and managing the strain of having a premature or medically fragile baby in the NICU. That background shapes how she listens and how she helps people organize next steps when life feels overwhelming.
In sessions she talks through what brought someone in and what feels most urgent. She helps people name feelings, sort through practical steps, and practice ways of coping that fit daily life. Conversations tend to be direct and grounded in the immediate problems a person is facing.
Jeanette pays attention to how guilt and shame show up after loss, relationship conflict, or big life transitions. She supports people who want to understand those feelings and decide what to do with them next. Work may include identifying patterns, trying new approaches, and building small routines that make stress easier to handle.
People who come for help can expect clear conversation about goals and options. Jeanette aims to help each person develop manageable ways to move forward, one step at a time.
How therapeutic approaches guide online work
Jeanette uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address practical problems and intense feelings. One common approach focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new ways of seeing situations; it helps with anxiety, social fear, and persistent guilt by breaking problems into manageable steps. Another approach involves hands-on coping skills and behavior changes that reduce daily stress and help with addictions and life transitions; this kind of work emphasizes small experiments and new routines.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That means checking in about what helps, adjusting methods, and pacing the work so it feels doable.
