Jeani Hobbs
I'm Jeani Hobbs, LCSW, and I'm passionate about helping adults navigate grief, loss, and life's most challenging transitions. I believe everyone deserves a safe, compassionate space where they can feel heard, understood, and supported without judgment. With five years of clinical experience, I have worked with individuals from diverse backgrounds facing bereavement, health challenges, relationship changes, and significant life transitions. My approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each person's unique needs, recognizing that grief looks different for everyone and there is no right or wrong timeline for healing.
You don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. I am here to provide a safe, compassionate space where you can feel heard, understood, and supported as we work through your goals together.
I understand that loss extends beyond the death of a loved one. It can include changes in health, independence, relationships, identity, or the future we once imagined. These experiences can leave us feeling overwhelmed, disconnected, or uncertain about what comes next. My goal is to help clients process these emotions, develop healthy coping strategies, reconnect with their strengths, and discover ways to move forward while honoring what they have experienced. My specialized training helps me approach each person's story with sensitivity and compassion. I believe therapy should meet you where you are, whether you need space to process difficult emotions, support through an unexpected change, or help finding hope during an especially difficult season. I also respect the importance of personal values and beliefs in the healing process. I offer faith-friendly and secular approaches, creating a therapeutic experience that aligns with each client's preferences. You don't have to have all the answers before beginning therapy, and you don't have to face life's hardest moments alone. I would be honored to walk alongside you as you navigate your experiences, rediscover your resilience, and find a path toward healing and renewed meaning. Together, we can make room for both grief and hope as you move toward a life that feels meaningful to you.
First session
In our first session, we will focus on building a safe and trusting foundation for our work together. My priority is to create a comfortable space where you can share your story and express your grief, regardless of which stage you are currently navigating. We will begin by exploring your unique experience so I can understand how to best support you as you process this journey at your own pace.

I specialize in supporting clients who are navigating the profound complexities of grief, meeting them with deep compassion and understanding at any stage of their journey.

Treatment methods
Grief Therapy
I approach Grief Therapy by honoring the unique nature of each individual’s journey. I help clients recognize that grief is not a one-size-fits-all experience; it manifests differently depending on the person, the specific circumstances, and the nature of the loss. We work together to validate that grief extends far beyond the death of a loved one, encompassing any significant life change or loss that creates an emotional impact. My goal is to provide a compassionate, non-judgmental space where you can process these complex feelings at your own pace and find ways to integrate your experiences into your life moving forward.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
In my therapeutic practice, I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) as a structured, evidence-based approach to help clients navigate the complex and often overwhelming terrain of the grieving process. My work begins by creating a safe space where we can identify and gently challenge the specific thought patterns and emotional responses that may be intensifying your grief or triggering difficult behavioral cycles. By collaborating together, we focus on restructuring these thought patterns to reduce the weight of negative cycles, while simultaneously implementing practical tools for emotional regulation. My goal is to empower you with actionable, personalized coping strategies that provide stability and support, allowing you to move through your unique journey of loss with greater clarity, resilience, and a renewed sense of agency.
Faith-based therapy
I believe faith can be an important source of comfort, strength, and hope during life's most difficult seasons. When desired by the client, I incorporate faith-based principles and spiritual resources into therapy in a way that respects their individual beliefs, values, and preferences. This may include exploring how faith influences their experiences, identifying spiritual sources of strength, or integrating prayer and scripture when appropriate. My approach is always client-centered, offering a welcoming space for both faith-based and secular perspectives without pressure or judgment. My goal is to support each person's emotional and spiritual well-being in a way that feels meaningful and authentic to them.
