Online Therapy Approach
Jean Hannigan offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to connect with clients in Illinois and beyond. These formats support ongoing work with individuals, couples, and teens while allowing adaptation to each person’s communication preferences.
Using a Client-Centered framework, she emphasizes careful listening and collaboration to identify goals and resources the client already has. Mindfulness Therapy is used to introduce present-moment awareness practices that can help manage stress and emotional reactivity in day-to-day life.
For relationship- and emotion-focused work, Emotionally-Focused Therapy helps map patterns of feeling and interaction, while Solution-Focused and Narrative techniques can clarify steps forward and the stories clients tell about themselves. Prospective clients can expect a collaborative partnership that adapts therapeutic tools to their stated objectives via the chosen online modality.What is Jean Hannigan's professional experience?
