Jeanette Gadeberg, LICSW

Jeanette Gadeberg, LICSW, is a licensed independent clinical social worker in Minnesota with 43 years of clinical experience supporting adults and families through a range of life challenges. She brings extensive practice helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship concerns, parenting and family conflicts, and major life transitions, including divorce and changes in family structure such as adoption and foster care.

Jeanette specializes in women's issues and offers particular understanding of the realities faced by women over 40. Her approach emphasizes both reflection and action - working with each person to set clear goals and, when helpful, assigning small pieces of homework to consider between sessions so progress continues outside of appointments. She aims to create an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored and practical steps toward change can be identified.

Jeanette is available for 45-minute sessions on Monday and Thursday daytime hours and prefers live video appointments to allow for visual connection. She also welcomes in-between messages for ongoing support. Her practice is grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to each individual's needs and goals.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care

Jeanette draws on practical, evidence-based methods to help clients move from reflection to action. One primary approach emphasizes collaborative goal-setting and brief weekly exercises - this structure helps clarify priorities, track progress, and translate insights into manageable steps that reduce overwhelm and encourage steady change. Another central approach focuses on skills for managing stress and anxiety, teaching concrete coping strategies such as breathing and grounding techniques, behavioral experiments, and problem-solving methods to ease day-to-day distress and build resilience.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jeanette works with each person to explore what feels most helpful given their goals, life circumstances, and preferences, adjusting techniques over time to find the best fit.

Online therapy options - including live video, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging - make it easier to fit care into a busy life. These formats provide flexible access to a licensed professional from home, support timely check-ins between sessions, and allow therapy to continue through transitions or scheduling constraints, while preserving the therapeutic relationship and continuity of care.
