About Evelyn
Evelyn (Jeanie) Cosmai is a licensed mental health counselor with 30 years of experience. She guides people who feel stuck or at a crossroads in their relationships, work, or life transitions. Jeanie focuses on practical steps people can take to find more balance and hope in daily life.
Jeanie uses Narrative Therapy alongside client-centered and cognitive-behavioral approaches. She helps people tell and reframe the stories they carry about themselves. Sessions often include identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavior changes to see what feels better.
Background and approach
Her background blends long-term counseling experience with life coaching perspectives. That means sessions can look at both immediate coping skills and deeper personal themes. People often work on anxiety, grief, low self-esteem, family conflict, parenting strain, and career shifts.
Jeanie pays attention to a person's spiritual life when it matters to them. She describes a Christian-centered worldview and supports clients who want faith to be part of their healing. She also helps people who do not emphasize religion by focusing on values, strengths, and goals.
Common topics she addresses include relationship and intimacy issues, anger, compassion fatigue, adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, codependency, and forgiveness. Jeanie aims to make therapy a collaborative place to explore options and try new ways of coping.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jeanie uses Narrative Therapy to help people rewrite the stories they tell about themselves. This approach looks at the meaning behind problems and helps people separate themselves from a problem so they can make different choices. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy which emphasizes listening, empathy, and meeting people where they are to build trust and clarity. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and improve mood.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jeanie collaborates with each person to figure out which methods fit their goals and preferences. She checks in about what feels helpful and adapts techniques over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.
Online sessions are available by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation; phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter call is needed. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, short reflections, or ongoing written work between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule and support steady progress.
