About Evelyn
Evelyn (Jeanie) Cosmai is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 30 years of experience. She works with adults who feel stuck or unsure what comes next after changes in work, relationships, health, or family life. Jeanie focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, and career or life-purpose questions.
She integrates a Christian worldview into her work and is attentive to clients' spiritual journeys when that matters to them. Jeanie combines talk therapy with practical tools to help people notice inner strengths and make clearer choices. Sessions aim to identify small, manageable steps people can try between meetings.
Her approach draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior techniques, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. That mix is used to address emotions, patterns of thinking, communication problems, and responses to life transitions. Conversations often include skills practice, thought tracking, and reflective exercises.
Jeanie also works with issues tied to family history and caregiving. She lists adoption and foster care, aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, codependency, divorce and separation, and family of origin problems among her focus areas. Practical problem solving and clearer communication are common themes in her sessions.
People looking for support with career decisions, feelings of emptiness or isolation, forgiveness, guilt and shame, or compassion fatigue can bring those topics to sessions. Jeanie uses direct questions and guided reflection to help people test new behaviors and notice what changes. She asks about faith and values when that is important to the person.
How her approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to the client’s concerns with attention and respect. It helps people clarify values, notice strengths, and set the topics they want to work on. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching specific exercises like thought records and behavioral experiments to reduce anxiety or shift mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, useful for anger, relationship stress, or feeling overwhelmed.Finding the right approach is part of therapy. She will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try first based on their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking what helps and adjusting techniques over time so sessions stay practical and focused on next steps.
