About Jeanette

Jeanette "Jan" Kaschmitter is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington. She has worked as a therapist since 2001 and brings 25 years of clinical experience to her work. Jan meets people where they are and focuses on practical steps to manage hard moments like depression and grief.

Jan blends methods from several therapy models to match each person's needs. She uses tools drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and client-centered approaches.

Her background includes community mental health, inpatient psychiatry, and work in a tribal clinic. Jan also spent 13 years in integrated mental health and substance abuse programs, though she is not credentialed specifically in substance use. She has focused training in grief and loss, trauma and sexual abuse, and co-occurring disorders.

How Jan’s approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered work focuses on the person’s needs and goals. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, follows the client’s lead, and offers support tailored to what matters most. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors; it is useful for depression, anxiety, and managing stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with intense emotions and interpersonal conflict.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jan collaborates with each person to decide which methods make sense based on their goals and day-to-day life. She adjusts techniques as progress is made so sessions stay practical and focused on what the client wants to achieve.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking since formats are not specified here. Many people find online therapy helps fit appointments into busy schedules, reduces travel time, and makes it easier to maintain regular sessions. Online work can support skills practice between meetings and make short check-ins or strategy sessions more convenient. Confirm the available session formats and scheduling details when you match and book.
