About Jessica
Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of experience in mental health. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, anger, depression, relationship and family concerns, grief, intimacy issues, sleep problems, parenting strain, self-esteem, career challenges, bipolar conditions, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
She began her work in residential care and community mental health settings. Early roles included youth counselor and case manager, and she has supported people from urban, suburban, and rural backgrounds. Her experience ranges across age groups and life stages, and she has worked with substance use and domestic violence concerns among others.
Jessica’s approach centers on building rapport first. She uses an integrated model and draws primarily on cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. That means sessions often look at how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors, and focus on steps that increase motivation for change.
Mindfulness, narrative, and client-centered elements also appear in her work. These tools are used to clarify personal stories, identify unhelpful patterns, and develop practical skills for managing strong emotions like anger or persistent worry.
She encourages steady progress rather than perfect outcomes. Sessions are practical and direct, with attention to everyday routines, coping skills, and realistic goals. Prospective clients are invited to ask questions and to complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule a first appointment.
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's concerns. Online sessions using this approach aim to prioritize what matters most to the client and to shape goals together in each meeting.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions tend to include practical exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that fit into daily routines to manage anger, anxiety, or mood shifts.
Mindfulness techniques teach simple attention and breathing practices. These are used to reduce reactivity and to help someone step back from overwhelming feelings in the moment.
Finding the right mix of approaches happens together. The therapist will ask about the client's goals, symptoms, and life circumstances, and then recommend which methods to try. Clients and the therapist check in and adjust the plan based on what helps.

Ask about what works logistically for you - shorter check-ins for busy days, sessions that don’t require being on camera, or timing that fits a work break. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into everyday life without changing other routines.
