About Jessica
Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy-related issues, sleep problems, parenting stress, self-esteem and career questions. She also supports people managing bipolar symptoms, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and major life changes.
Jessica uses a straightforward, practical approach in sessions. She begins by building rapport so clients feel understood before moving to problem-solving. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing are central to her work, with other approaches used as needed. She talks through how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and helps clients find small, doable steps toward change.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology from Wayne State University and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from University of Phoenix. She has worked in residential settings, community mental health, and rehabilitation programs. That range of experience informs how she adapts methods for different life situations and stress levels.
In sessions she mixes listening with concrete exercises. That might mean practicing thought records, setting small behavioral goals, or using mindfulness techniques to steady strong emotions. She also uses narrative ideas to help people make sense of painful experiences and find forward movement.
Jessica aims for steady progress rather than perfection. She encourages practical steps you can try between appointments and checks in on what helps most. If you want to learn more, follow the practice's process to complete a short questionnaire and schedule a first session.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people feel heard and understood. In practice this looks like the therapist asking open questions and following the client's lead to clarify what matters most, which helps with anxiety and relationship concerns.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thoughts and behaviors by teaching concrete skills. Online sessions can include practicing thought records, setting small behavioral experiments, and using simple worksheets between meetings to track progress on anxiety, sleep, or mood problems.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches skills to notice sensations and thoughts without immediately reacting. Brief breathing or grounding exercises can be practiced in a session and then used throughout the day to manage strong feelings or agitation.
Finding the right approach is part of the work and happens together. The therapist will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust based on what feels useful. That collaborative process helps pick approaches that match the client's needs and preferences.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, since specific options are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example shorter check-ins during a lunch break, video meetings when visual cues help, or phone conversations when bandwidth is limited. These practical choices can help people maintain regular appointments while balancing daily responsibilities.
