About Me
My name is Jeanetta Thomas, and I am a therapist licensed in California, Arkansas, Florida, South Carolina, and Alabama. If your goal is to overcome the negative effects of trauma on your life and relationships, I may be the therapist for you.
One of my greatest joys as a therapist is working with members of diverse communities to be the best version of themselves. I believe that we can best heal and grow through emotional intelligence, self-mastery, and understanding of how our cultural background and life circumstances have impacted our life outlook. I have helped many people over the years establish a stronger sense of self-esteem and life direction. I am trained in trauma-focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), as well as Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) and Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR).
My counseling approach is strengths-based and person-centered. I believe in treating everyone with unconditional positive regard and I strongly oppose stigmatizing labels. I employ the use of pragmatic problem-solving modalities, and will tailor our sessions and treatment plan to meet your personalized needs. I am here to assist you in addressing your self-identified needs related to living your best life. I look forward to working with you!

I look forward to every session. She active listens and I can feel her compassion. She gives things for me to work on and resources to understand my behaviors. I always can’t wait for our next sessions!

Jeanetta is warm and personable. She is someone that I really felt I could be honest with. Jeanetta gave me actionable and rational feedback to help me understand myself better, move through dark days, and was also there when I just needed to talk to someone. I appreciate her hard work and professionalism and sincerely believe my sessions with her have had a positive impact on me.
