Jeana Spencer-Rooks
Hi, my name is Jeana, and I am a master's level clinical social worker. I have two young adult daughters, a dog, and a cat. With over 25 years of experience in social work, my background includes community work, hospice care, and one-on-one therapy. I've had the privilege of working virtually with clients worldwide, ranging in age from 18 to mature adults.
As a person of faith, I am open to working with individuals of all faiths, religions, cultures, and lifestyles.
My clients typically seek support for issues related to depression, anxiety, ADHD, family conflict, LGBTQ concerns, and diverse relationship styles. As a person of faith, I am open to working with individuals of all faiths, religions, cultures, and lifestyles. I find great joy in helping anyone willing to take the first step toward creating change in their life.
First session
Clients often tell me that they expected their first session to be very stressful and or difficult but they are pleased to find how relaxed it was and how they feel they have a sense of direction to follow after the session as ended
Strengths
My greatest strength as a clinician is knowing how to help clients to find their voice and strength to move through trials I am solution-focused incorporating mindfulness and CBT
Ideal clients
Hi, my dream client is anybody who wants to make change in their life and is willing to book the appointment and show up. It doesn’t matter if someone had to talk you into the appointment, or you are very afraid and you may have had therapy before and perhaps you didn’t click with that Therapist but as long as you show up you are a dream client because you are taking the step to help yourself.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use CBT treatment with my clients to help them challenge thoughts that they feel are holding them back from expressing themselves or from growing into the person they desire to become. This treatment is a good short term therapy that goes to the heart of the problem/concern and by creating action steps the client is gaining control or understanding of cause/affect and seeing progress
Grief Therapy
I use grief therapy with clients to explore not only the death of a loved one but also any life change that has impacted them. Grief therapy is essential no matter when you lose someone or have a significant change.
