About Jeanette
Jeanette McCue is an MA, Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Massachusetts with 20 years of experience. She focuses on depression, anxiety, stress, trauma and abuse, grief, and self-esteem concerns. Her work also addresses guilt and shame, self-love, and social anxiety and phobia.
She uses straightforward, evidence-based techniques to help people manage distressing thoughts and feelings. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps people can try between meetings. She brings a secular, values-affirming perspective and treats each person as the expert on their own life.
Jeanette emphasizes building self-kindness and teaching ways to reduce the intensity of anxiety and shame. In conversation she helps people name what gets in the way and test small changes. Over time clients learn ways to respond differently to triggers and uncomfortable social situations.
Her background includes two decades of clinical work with adults. That experience informs a calm, methodical approach to issues like depression, grief, and trauma. She spends time on pacing and practical coping strategies so sessions feel manageable.
People who prefer clear goals and teachable skills may find this approach helpful. Before a first session she asks about current struggles, what has or hasn’t helped, and what a reasonable first step looks like. The process is collaborative and focused on measurable progress.
Approaches for social anxiety and related concerns
Jeanette describes her work as grounded in evidence-based therapeutic techniques that teach skills to reduce distress. One common approach involves practical cognitive strategies that help people notice and test unhelpful thoughts, and then try alternative ways of thinking and behaving. This can be useful for social anxiety, worry, and self-critical thinking.Another typical method focuses on gradual exposure to feared situations. That means breaking social fears into small, doable steps and practicing them over time so situations feel less overwhelming. This work pairs well with coping skills for managing physical anxiety symptoms and shame-related reactions.
Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose approaches that match their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions include discussion, skill practice, and agreed small steps to try between meetings so progress can be tracked together.
Practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy day.
