About Jeana

Jeana Spencer-Rooks is a licensed clinical social worker with 22 years of experience providing client-centered mental health care in Michigan. She draws on a long track record working with people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, ADHD, and self-esteem concerns, and brings steady clinical presence to complex emotional issues.

Background and approach

Her LMSW credential is noted as MI LMSW 6801062555 and reflects her professional standing in the state. Her practice emphasizes inclusivity and acceptance, attending to life transitions, workplace pressures, multicultural dynamics, and a wide range of relationship and intimacy-related concerns.

Jeana blends practical strategies with empathic listening to help clients build resilience, navigate change, and clarify goals. She also addresses focused areas such as addiction, bipolar concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness, body image, attachment and abandonment issues, and aspects of kink and alternative sexual culture.

Jeana offers adaptable, collaborative care that combines evidence-based methods and mindfulness to meet each person where they are. She aims to create a respectful environment where individuals can explore patterns, strengthen coping skills, and pursue meaningful personal growth while taking into account their unique life circumstances.

Approaches that guide online care and collaboration



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings while clarifying personal values and taking committed action toward meaningful goals; it is often used for anxiety, depression, life transitions, and stress management. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning, which can be useful for mood, anxiety, and coping with ADHD-related challenges. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes empathic listening, respect, and collaboration to support self-exploration and personal growth, making space for each person's unique experience.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the therapeutic process, and the therapist works collaboratively with clients to tailor methods to individual needs, goals, and preferences. Together they assess what feels most helpful and adjust strategies over time to support progress without assuming a one-size-fits-all path.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide practical flexibility for busy or geographically dispersed clients. These options make it easier to fit consistent care into work, family, or health schedules and can help sustain momentum between in-person commitments by allowing regular contact in formats that suit each person.
