About Jeana
Jeana De Lay, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT), is licensed in California and has 17 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on parenting, self-esteem, career concerns, stress, anxiety, relationships, family issues, trauma and abuse, grief, anger, and depression. She describes her work as using both long- and short-term therapy to help clients find their voice and move toward concrete goals.
Jeana combines therapy with life coaching techniques. She frames coaching as goal-focused work that links where a person is now to where they want to be. That process includes identifying obstacles, clarifying goals, and developing practical steps to achieve those goals.
In sessions she helps clients define specific treatment goals. That may include building communication skills, changing behavior patterns, or working through past trauma. She sometimes gives homework assignments aimed at making steady progress between meetings.
She also teaches parenting skills. Her parenting work centers on communication, interaction, and consistent discipline strategies that match a child’s developmental stage. The aim is to give parents practical methods to manage day-to-day challenges.
Jeana emphasizes planning and actionable steps. She works with each person to design a plan that fits their goals and circumstances. The focus is on measurable changes such as improved relationships, clearer goals at work, and greater self-confidence.

Therapeutic approaches and how online sessions work
Jeana describes her work as a mix of therapy and coaching. She uses long- and short-term therapy approaches to address trauma and transitional issues, helping people process past events and reduce symptoms of anxiety or depression. That work focuses on talking through experiences and developing coping strategies to manage stress and strong emotions.She also uses life coaching methods that are goal-oriented. Coaching helps clients set clear targets, identify obstacles, and take step-by-step actions toward career or personal goals. This approach often includes concrete tasks or homework to build momentum between sessions.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with the client to decide whether more coaching, shorter-term therapy, or longer-term therapy fits their needs, goals, and preferences. Plans are adjusted as progress is made and goals evolve.
Confirm current session formats before booking. The practical benefits of online work include fitting sessions into a busy schedule, making shorter check-ins easier to arrange, and removing travel time. Online sessions can help people keep continuity of care while juggling work, family, and other commitments.
