Hi there! I’m Jeanne Jacobs and I’m a couples therapist here at Palo Alto Therapy. I’m so glad you’ve taken a moment to learn more about me and how I can support you and your partner on your journey.
In my practice, I’m passionate about helping couples build and strengthen their relationships. Whether you’re navigating a challenging period or just looking to enhance your connection, I’m here to offer guidance and support.
My approach to therapy is collaborative and compassionate. I believe that every couple has the potential to grow and thrive, and my role is to create a safe space where you both can explore your thoughts and feelings openly.
I draw from various therapeutic techniques, including Emotionally Focused Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and the Gottman Method. I have completed training in Discernment Counseling. If you feel your marriage is on the verge of collapse, please consider this amazing process that can rejuvenate your marriage. My goal is to help you understand each other’s perspectives, improve communication, and resolve conflicts in a healthy way.
One of the core aspects of my work is teaching couples effective communication strategies. It’s not just about talking more, but talking better—listening actively, expressing needs clearly, and responding with empathy.
I also understand that every relationship is unique, and there’s no one-size-fits-all solution. That’s why I tailor my approach to meet your specific needs and goals.
My mission is to empower you and your partner to build a deeper, more fulfilling connection. Together, we can work towards creating a relationship that feels loving, respectful, and resilient.
If you’re ready to take the next step towards strengthening your relationship, I’d be honored to be part of your journey. I look forward to the opportunity to work with you and support you in your relationship.

Professional counselor education and training standards for licensure are on par with marriage and family therapists and clinical social workers, the other two master’s level mental health providers in the state. Requirements for California’s Licensed Professional Clinical Counselors (LPCCs) include:
- Possession of a 60-unit master’s or doctoral degree in counseling, or a closely related degree, from a regionally accredited or “approved” institution of higher education that includes certain core content areas
- Completion of a minimum of 3,000 hours of post-master’s supervised clinical experience, performed over two years, and continuing education hours for renewal (Before full licensure, LPCCs are called “Associates”.)
- Passage of the National Clinical Mental Health Counselor Examination (NCMHCE) and a California Law & Ethics Exam
- Adherence to a strict Code of Ethics and recognized standards of practice, as regulated by California’s Board of Behavioral Sciences
How can a LPCC help me?
Like other mental health professionals such as social workers, psychologists, psychiatrists, LMFTs, LPCC’s help clients by diagnosing and treating common emotional and behavioral difficulties that interfere with functioning at an optimal level. LPCC’s use empirical-supported counseling techniques to help their clients achieve desired goals.
