About Jeanne

Jeanne Peel is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 22 years of experience. She practices in Florida and lists concerns including stress, anxiety, relationship and family difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, anger, depression, coping with life changes, and ADHD. Jeanne also notes work with blended family issues, codependency, communication and control problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, forgiveness, guilt and shame, veteran and armed forces issues, self-love, and women’s issues.

Jeanne draws on a mix of therapeutic approaches and keeps things practical in sessions. She leans on client-centered methods and uses cognitive behavioral, existential, mindfulness, solution-focused, and psychodynamic ideas as needed. Conversations often look at patterns, moments that trigger shame or guilt, and small experiments to change how people think and behave.

Her background includes community mental health, residential treatment, private practice, and clinical work for an insurance company providing mental health assessments. Jeanne has worked in individual, couple, family, and group settings and has long experience across different levels of care. She identifies as a veteran and spent many years as a military spouse, which informs her understanding of military-related stresses.

Sessions are collaborative and interactive. Jeanne treats people with respect and sensitivity and helps them notice beliefs that limit them. She focuses on building rapport and keeping clients engaged so they can try out new ways of coping and relating.

Outside of work she values physical activity and spiritual reflection. She mentions running, walking, biking, kayaking, yoga, meditation, and family life as central parts of how she cares for herself and stays grounded.

Therapeutic approaches and working online

Jeanne commonly uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on the person’s own experience and supports them in finding their own answers through respectful, listening conversations. This approach helps with feelings rooted in identity, relationships, and family history.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT is useful for addressing persistent guilt-driven thoughts, anxiety, and patterns that keep people stuck. In addition, Jeanne uses mindfulness ideas to help people notice automatic reactions and choose different responses when shame or guilt arises.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work and Jeanne treats that as a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, preferences, and what seems to help, then adjust techniques so they fit the person’s needs and pace.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Therapists and licensed professionals can also adapt exercises and homework for remote work, helping people practice new ways of thinking and relating between sessions.
