About Jean
Jean Odachowski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people handle relationship challenges, parenting struggles, trauma, and stress. Jean aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be spoken honestly.
Her approach emphasizes attachment and connection. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to help people understand how early bonds shape current relationships. That work can be useful for parenting concerns, attachment issues, and relationship patterns that keep repeating.
Background and approach
Jean also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. This method is often used for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes. She integrates narrative work as well, helping people make sense of difficult experiences by reshaping the stories they tell about themselves.
For trauma, Jean uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, to help process distressing memories and reduce their hold on daily life. She blends trauma-focused techniques with supportive coaching to build practical coping skills for parenting, work stress, and burnout. Clients can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative goal setting, and concrete strategies they can use between sessions.
Jean supports people through grief, postpartum challenges, adoption and foster care concerns, ADHD-related struggles, and compassion fatigue with a mix of therapy and coaching.
Approaches that guide online work and healing
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds influence current relationships and parenting. Online sessions use this approach to help people notice patterns, try new ways of connecting, and reduce repeated cycles in relationships.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify unhelpful thoughts and test different behaviors. Delivered over video or chat, CBT provides concrete tools for anxiety, depression, anger, and adjusting to life changes.
EMDR is used to process traumatic memories so they carry less emotional charge. When offered online, EMDR techniques are adapted to the session format while the therapist guides pacing and grounding strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose which methods fit their goals, symptoms, and comfort level. That choice can shift over time as needs change, and decision-making happens together in session.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for deeper relational work, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is low, and messaging or live chat work well for brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives and maintain steady progress.
