About Jean
Jean Hair is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with 26 years of professional experience. She works with adults who are dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, and anger. Jean also supports people coping with life changes, low self-esteem, addictions, and relationship or parenting concerns.
Jean starts by listening and helping people name what they are feeling. She encourages self-reflection, talk therapy, and mindfulness exercises to help clients notice patterns that increase frustration or resentment. She will also include a client's spiritual beliefs when that is helpful to their process.
Her approach draws on several methods. Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy ideas to spot thinking patterns that fuel anger or anxiety. She incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation and mindfulness practice to calm reactivity. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, for people with unresolved trauma.
Jean sometimes works with art as a form of expression and pays attention to dreams as personal signals. Sessions focus on practical steps - setting boundaries, improving communication, and building manageable routines. The aim is to support steady change rather than quick fixes.
People who want direct, plain-spoken guidance about anger, resentment, or ongoing stress may find her approach useful. To begin, follow the site prompts to view online therapy options and complete the short matching questionnaire before scheduling a first session.
How Jean uses therapy methods online
Jean draws on Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) when working with clients. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping people find their own direction. CBT looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep anger or anxiety active and teaches concrete skills to change those patterns. EMDR is used to process distressing memories that continue to trigger emotional reactions and can be helpful for trauma-related anger.Choosing the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jean will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences. Together they decide which strategies to try and adjust them as progress is made, keeping the client involved in each step.
