Background and approach
Her background includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, family and intimacy-related concerns, and career or workplace difficulties. Her style emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring conversations and treatment plans to each person's circumstances.
Jean uses evidence-based methods, including cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices, to support clients in building coping skills, improving self-esteem, and clarifying life purpose. She frames change as a collaborative process and guides clients step by step through decisions like separation, caregiving for aging family members, or navigating cancer-related challenges.

With a flexible approach and decades of experience, she aims to help individuals move toward greater emotional balance and more satisfying relationships while honoring each person’s values and goals.
Integrating CBT and Mindfulness for Online Care
Jean uses cognitive behavioral approaches to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors; this method is practical for addressing anxiety, depression, stress, and career or workplace concerns. Mindfulness therapy is offered alongside CBT and focuses on cultivating present-moment awareness and self-compassion, which can support coping with grief, trauma-related reactions, and relationship stress.Finding the best therapeutic approach is part of the work together. The therapist will collaborate with each client to decide how much emphasis to place on skills-based CBT, mindfulness practice, or a combination, tailoring sessions to the person’s goals, needs, and personal values.
Online sessions include video calls, phone meetings, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility and accessibility. These formats allow appointments to fit into busy schedules, make it easier to maintain continuity during life transitions, and provide multiple ways to receive support between in-person options. Licensed professionals can use these tools to meet clients where they are while adapting methods like CBT and mindfulness for remote delivery.
