Jessica Beane

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, addiction, depression, and relationship and family challenges. She speaks plainly with clients and focuses on practical steps that can be used between sessions. Jessica aims to make the first contact straightforward and respectful for someone who may be feeling overwhelmed.

Her approach centers on building a trusting connection first. Jessica uses a mix of methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing, narrative techniques, and mindfulness. She often highlights how thoughts influence feelings and how small behavior changes can shift daily experience.

Jessica has about ten years of experience in the mental health field. Her work began in residential care for teenage girls and expanded into roles such as rehabilitation specialist and case manager in community mental health. Over the years she has supported people with trauma, substance use concerns, mood disorders, self-esteem struggles, and sleep and parenting stress.

In sessions she focuses on clear goals and steady progress rather than perfection. She also assists people who struggle with codependency, control issues, grief, caregiver stress, impulsivity, and isolation. Jessica encourages a practical plan for coping with life changes and building healthier patterns.

She invites questions and emphasizes that finding the right fit takes time. Jessica aims to walk alongside clients as they work toward greater calm, clearer choices, and a stronger sense of self.

How her approaches inform online therapy

Jessica commonly relies on client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide sessions. Client-centered work means sessions focus on the individual's goals and experiences, with the therapist listening closely and reflecting what matters most to the person. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at how thoughts affect feelings and behaviors and uses simple exercises to change unhelpful patterns.

She also draws on motivational interviewing to help people find and strengthen their own reasons for change, especially around addiction or behavior shifts. That approach is collaborative and built around a person’s values and readiness to act.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will discuss options and help decide what methods fit a person's goals and style. This is a collaborative step that can change as progress is made.

Session formats are not specified here, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing quicker check-ins. It can also suit people who prefer shorter phone conversations or camera sessions that let them use therapeutic tools from home. Discuss formatting preferences when you schedule so sessions match daily routines and goals.
