About Jessica
Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, parenting challenges, and related issues such as sleeping problems, self-esteem, and career stress.
She trained in mental health counseling and has worked across residential, clubhouse, and community mental health settings. That background includes time supporting people from teenage years through older adulthood in urban, suburban, and rural areas. Her experience covers a broad range of concerns including bipolar disorder, PTSD, substance use, domestic violence, and compulsive behaviors.
Jessica uses an integrated approach in sessions. She often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to map how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors. Motivational interviewing is used to help people find reasons to change and build momentum for practical steps.
Sessions begin by building rapport and a predictable structure. Jessica focuses on clear, small goals and steady progress rather than perfection. Conversations typically include skill practice, thought work, and checking what is actually working in daily life.
She also uses client-centered and narrative approaches when helpful, inviting people to tell their story and to notice patterns that affect choices. Mindfulness exercises are offered when stress, sleep, or emotional reactivity are primary problems.
Jessica describes therapy as a collaborative process. She helps adults untangle family and parenting stress, cope with loss and shame, and develop concrete strategies to manage cravings, anger, or overwhelming emotion. Practical steps and gradual change are emphasized throughout.
How sessions work
Approaches used in online sessions
Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing when working online. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thought patterns and builds practical skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, sleeping issues, and some relationship problems. Motivational interviewing focuses on strengthening a person’s own reasons to change and is often used for addictions, ambivalence, or making life changes.She also brings client-centered and narrative ideas into remote work by listening for a person’s story and helping them see patterns that influence choices. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit goals, values, and what feels manageable in day-to-day life.
Confirm the current online session options before booking, since specific formats are not listed here. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments around parenting, work, or caregiving by removing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. Phone check-ins can help when video is difficult, and remote sessions support practicing coping skills in everyday contexts.
