Background and approach
That plan can include goal-setting, coping strategies, and tools to manage emotions and daily challenges. Jean uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. She also incorporates Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple ways to slow down, stay grounded, and reduce overwhelm.
Clients often bring issues like life transitions, addiction struggles, intimacy concerns, or workplace stress. Jean also offers support around aging and geriatric issues, cancer-related challenges, codependency, and divorce and separation. She tailors conversation and exercises to the concerns at hand.
Sessions are practical and collaborative. Jean aims to help people leave each session with clear next steps. She encourages steady progress and adapts plans as needs change.
How Jean Uses CBT and Mindfulness Online
Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test out new behaviors; this approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress reduction. Mindfulness Therapy is taught through brief exercises and attention practices to reduce reactivity and increase calm, which can help with grief, relationship strain, and day-to-day overwhelm.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will talk with each person about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan over time. The process involves checking what helps and what does not, so adjustments are made together.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy easier to fit into life. Video lets you work face-to-face when that matters. Phone sessions need less bandwidth and can be easier when hands-free time is needed. Live chat and text messaging allow short check-ins or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options aim to give flexibility and steady access to a licensed professional.
