About Jeana
Jeana De Lay is a licensed marriage and family therapist with 17 years of clinical experience in California. She focuses on helping people who are coping with stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, trauma, relationship concerns, career questions, self-esteem, and parenting challenges.
Background and approach
Her style is warm and straightforward, aimed at helping clients feel comfortable and heard from the first session. Jeana combines longer-term and shorter-term work depending on what each person needs.
She offers practical tools and teaches parenting skills so parents can improve communication, set consistent limits, and handle different stages of child development with more confidence. She also integrates life coaching to help people move from where they are to where they want to be, with goal-focused steps.
Sessions often include creating a concrete plan and occasional homework tailored to each person. These tasks are designed to build communication skills, change unhelpful behavior patterns, and strengthen relationships.
Jeana emphasizes finding small shifts that add up to meaningful change over time. She aims to help clients name clear goals and notice progress along the way.
That might mean recognizing a core “a-ha” insight, improving daily routines, or learning new ways to manage stress and emotions. Her work centers on practical, doable steps that fit into a busy life.
Jeana practices in California and conducts sessions in English. Her approach blends counseling and coaching to support personal growth and problem solving.
Therapeutic approaches and online sessions that fit your life
Evidence-based talk therapy focuses on identifying patterns that maintain distress and teaching practical tools to change them. This work helps with anxiety, depression, anger, and relationship problems by breaking issues into manageable steps and practicing new behaviors.Life coaching is goal-oriented and forward looking. It helps people clarify where they want to go, set measurable steps, and remove obstacles that have kept them from making progress. Coaching pairs well with therapy when people want both emotional work and action plans for change.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to each person's needs, goals, and preferences and recommend short-term or longer-term work as appropriate. Together they decide what methods and session formats fit best for the client’s day-to-day life.
Online sessions make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues help, phone sessions can be used when bandwidth is limited or a camera-free option is preferred, and live chat or text-based messaging supports quick check-ins or ongoing written reflection. These options give flexibility and make consistent care more practical for many people.
