About Jewel
I'm Jewel Cannon, a Licensed Professional Counselor based in metro Detroit, Michigan. I work with adults across the state online — mostly people of color, mostly on anxiety, trauma, and the weight of carrying more than anyone realizes.
I came to this work honestly. In my early twenties I got very sick — chronic GI illness no one could diagnose, generalized anxiety, PTSD. Frequent hospital stays. Days I couldn't eat. I was at the lowest point of my life during what should have been my prime. When specialists ran out of answers, I started looking for my own: I went plant-based, started my own counseling, and built a spiritual practice from scratch.
That's not a story I tell to be inspirational. I tell it because I know what it's like to be dismissed, to be exhausted by your own body and mind, and to not know where to start. When you sit with me, you're sitting with someone who has been on that side of it.

How I work:
I'm direct, warm, and I won't waste your time. Sessions with me are collaborative — I'm not going to nod silently for fifty minutes, and I'm not going to hand you a worksheet and call it a day.
Clinically, I lean on cognitive behavioral therapy: understanding how thoughts drive feelings drive behaviors, and learning to interrupt that loop. I've also done research on attachment styles in relationships and on gratitude and appreciation, and both show up in how I work.
I hold a holistic view of mental health. Sleep, movement, what you eat, what you believe, and who you're surrounded by are all part of the picture. I'm a licensed clinician and I take that seriously — and I also believe healing happens outside a session room.
Who I work with:
Adults navigating anxiety, panic, and chronic stress
People processing trauma and PTSD
People of color who want a therapist who shares cultural context
People in transition — career, relationship, identity, health
Anyone who's been "handling it" alone for too long
I have experience with crisis work, high-risk individuals, couples, children, adolescents, and adults, including in-home family therapy and psychoeducation groups.
