About Jean

Jean Elliott is a licensed professional counselor in South Carolina with 28 years of clinical experience. She has built a practice supporting people through depression, anxiety, addictions, trauma, and related mood concerns, and she brings long-term experience to helping clients work through self-esteem and communication challenges.

Background and approach

Her LPC credential is SC LPC 3008, which anchors her local practice and professional standing. Her style blends practical tools with depth-oriented exploration, drawing on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy alongside EMDR, Jungian perspectives, and solution-focused strategies as appropriate.

Jean emphasizes collaboration, helping clients identify patterns, build coping skills, and set achievable steps toward improved functioning. She often works with issues such as postpartum depression, caregiver stress, codependency, substance concerns, guilt and shame, and problems around life purpose.

Sessions emphasize a tailored plan rather than a single formula, with Jean adapting methods to a person’s history and current needs. Her aim is to help clients develop emotional resilience, clearer communication, and a steadier sense of self so they can move forward with greater confidence and balance.

Therapeutic Methods and Online Access

Jean integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR into her work in ways that are clear and practical. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing concrete strategies to change patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. EMDR uses structured eye-movement and memory-processing techniques to reduce the emotional intensity of traumatic memories and related symptoms.

Deciding which approaches to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will review a client’s history, current concerns, and personal goals to determine whether CBT, EMDR, or elements from Jungian or solution-focused methods are the best fit. This shared decision making helps tailor a plan that aligns with the client’s needs and preferences.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility and accessibility. These formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, allow continuity when in-person meetings aren’t feasible, and support a range of interaction styles from real-time conversation to asynchronous messaging.
