About Jeana

Jeana De Lay is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 17 years of clinical experience. She helps people facing depression, anxiety, stress, grief, and relationship challenges. Jeana aims to create a warm, caring environment where clients can talk honestly and begin to find their voice.

Jeana uses both longer-term and shorter-term approaches depending on the person's needs. She blends practical, goal-focused coaching with therapeutic work to help people move past old patterns. Sessions often include concrete steps and homework designed to support progress between meetings.

She offers guidance for parents on communication, discipline, and changing interactions as children grow. That work centers on clear strategies parents can try and adjust over time. Jeana also incorporates life coaching elements to help clients clarify goals and take intentional steps toward them.

Her process begins with defining specific goals alongside each person. From there she and the client develop a plan tailored to those aims, which may include skill building, behavior changes, or relationship work. The focus is on practical change and finding moments of insight that point the way forward.

Jeana practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Prospective clients are asked to use the Start Therapy button to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to therapist availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jeana combines evidence-based therapeutic techniques with life coaching to help people manage symptoms and reach goals. One approach she uses focuses on short-term goal work that identifies specific changes to try and measures progress. This helps when someone wants clear steps to reduce symptoms like low mood or anxiety.

She also employs longer-term therapeutic work that examines past patterns and trauma to reduce their hold on current life. That approach supports people who want deeper change and a clearer sense of self over time.

Finding the right approach is part of the work she does with each person. She will collaborate with clients to decide whether brief, focused steps or deeper, exploratory sessions fit best based on needs, goals, and preferences.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find online sessions helpful because they can fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and make it easier to check in between responsibilities. If you prefer a specific session style, ask about available formats when you schedule.
