About Jean
Jean Beatie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with 35 years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, anger, parenting strain, and life transitions. Jean also addresses trauma, issues related to sexual assault and abuse, codependency, and concerns linked to sexual orientation. Sessions are conducted in English.
Her background includes inpatient psychiatric work, time at a shelter for women affected by physical abuse and addiction, and roles in school and outpatient settings. Those varied settings shaped a practical approach to everyday problems. Jean has worked with clients across a wide age range and with many different life situations.
Jean draws on client-centered principles, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. In practice she helps people set concrete goals, try small changes, and notice what works. She leans toward strategies that fit daily life rather than abstract theory.
In sessions she focuses on collaboration. Jean and the client map out aims and try steps that can reduce overwhelming feelings or persistent anger. Progress is paced to the person rather than rushed, and she expects work to take time.
Practical concerns such as parenting stress, communication problems, codependency, and managing resentment often become starting points. Jean helps people name patterns, try different responses, and build routines that reduce flare-ups and make relationships more manageable.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered work places the person’s goals first. The therapist listens, reflects, and helps clients choose which problems to focus on. This approach can help with anger that comes from relationships or work by clarifying priorities and immediate steps.Mindfulness therapy teaches simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity. Those practices help when frustration rises quickly or when anger becomes a repeating pattern. Mindfulness can also support grief, anxiety, and stress management alongside anger work.
Motivational interviewing is about finding what will motivate change. The therapist asks open questions and helps people notice their own reasons for trying something different. This can be useful for addressing anger linked to addictions, codependency, or repeated relationship patterns.
Choosing the right mix of methods is part of the process. The therapist will work with the client to decide which approaches fit their needs and preferences. That collaborative planning includes setting small, testable goals and adjusting methods based on what helps.

Licensed professionals can use verbal exercises, guided mindfulness, and structured problem-solving in remote appointments to keep progress moving without promising a particular format.
