About Jeana
Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a licensed social worker with 22 years of experience in Michigan. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, addiction, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns. Jeana aims to make therapy straightforward and approachable so people can get practical help for day-to-day struggles.
She uses clear, person-centered communication to understand what matters most to each client. Sessions often include goal-setting, coping skills, and reflective conversation so people can practice changes outside appointments.
Background and approach
Her work addresses life transitions, career stress, and relationship and intimacy concerns in direct terms. Jeana draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take action that fits those values.
Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are used when they fit a person’s goals. People who prefer an inclusive, nonjudgmental approach often find her style calming and practical. She supports LGBT concerns and a wide range of focus areas such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, body image, and blended family dynamics.
Sessions are tailored to what a person needs right now rather than a one-size-fits-all plan. Her practice works with individuals navigating big life changes, grief, or ongoing mood concerns. Jeana helps clients build skills for managing anger, improving communication, and coping with stress so daily life feels more manageable.

How Jeana’s Approaches Translate to Online Work
Jeana blends Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that map easily to online sessions. ACT focuses on clarifying values and taking small actions that match those values, which can help with anger, anxiety, and life transitions. CBT looks at thinking and behavior patterns and uses practical exercises to change them, which works well through structured video or phone sessions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your situation, then adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist work together to pick exercises, homework, or mindfulness practices that can be used between appointments.
Online formats offer practical benefits. Video calls allow for face-to-face conversation and use of worksheets, phone sessions can be simpler when internet bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text-based messaging support quick check-ins or brief coaching between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and to keep working on skills between meetings.
