Jean’s background includes work in inpatient psychiatric units, a shelter for women affected by physical abuse, and roles providing outpatient counseling.
Background and approach
She has also served as an elementary school counselor and has worked with clients across a wide age range. That variety shaped her ability to meet people where they are and respond to many kinds of life challenges. Her style is warm and collaborative.

She uses solution-focused techniques to identify strengths and quick, practical strategies that can be tried between sessions.
Jean pays attention to how culture, identity, and life circumstances shape each person’s experience and adjusts plans accordingly. Jean holds the LPC credential and is also a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC). She practices in Missouri and brings 35 years of experience to her work.

Approaches Jean lists
Listing an approach is not evidence of training in it. This directory copies what each therapist names and does not check training records.
Approaches that translate well to online work
Client-centered therapy emphasizes understanding the person's perspective and building a supportive relationship, which helps people feel heard and steady when facing anger, grief, or anxiety. Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices people can use to reduce reactivity and manage strong emotions in daily life. Motivational interviewing focuses on boosting a person's own reasons for change and can help with addictions, procrastination, and getting unstuck.Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, preferences, and current needs. That means trying techniques, checking how they feel, and adjusting the plan together over time.
Online sessions make it easier to work consistently. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and demonstration of breathing or grounding practices. Phone sessions can be a lower-bandwidth option for check-ins or deep conversations. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, reminders, and practicing skills between meetings. These formats provide flexibility so therapy can fit into work, school, or caregiving schedules while still using client-centered, mindfulness, and motivational approaches.
