About Jessica

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Michigan. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship concerns, family issues, grief, intimacy-related problems, sleeping difficulties, parenting, self-esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, coping with life changes, compassion fatigue, and ADHD. She offers straightforward support and a calm, practical presence for people who are feeling stuck or overwhelmed.

Jessica aims to build trust quickly so people can talk about hard things.

Background and approach

She listens closely and uses tools that match each person's situation. Sessions are down-to-earth and focused on small steps that lead to real change. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Wayne State University and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix.

Jessica has worked in residential care, rehabilitation programs, and community mental health, and she brings about ten years of experience in the field. Her approach blends several methods so she can tailor work to the person in front of her. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are frequent tools, and she also draws on client-centered and narrative techniques.

Jessica explains how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and helps people build motivation for change. Her style is supportive and practical. She emphasizes progress over perfection and partners with people to set realistic goals.

The aim is to help clients feel more settled and move toward the life they want.

Therapeutic approaches for online care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience without judgment. It helps people feel heard and supported while they sort out feelings and goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns; it is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress is made, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.

Online sessions can happen by video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, which lets therapy fit into busy schedules. These formats make it easier to connect from home, during a break, or while traveling within Michigan, and they support different communication styles so people can pick what feels most comfortable.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
