Jessica Beane, LPC

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma, depression, and relationship or family concerns. She works with people coping with grief, parenting strain, sleep problems, self-esteem struggles, bipolar mood issues, ADHD, and life transitions. Jessica aims to make starting therapy feel manageable and straightforward for worried parents and busy adults.

Jessica draws on ten years of experience in community mental health, residential programs, and case management. She uses a blend of approaches so sessions match each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing are two of the models she uses most often to address unhelpful thinking and build motivation for change.

In a typical session she focuses on practical steps people can try between meetings. She talks through how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and helps set small, achievable goals. Mindfulness and narrative techniques are also used to help people notice patterns and reframe difficult stories about themselves.

Her background includes work in residential care, a clubhouse rehabilitation setting, and community mental health agencies. That experience exposed her to a wide range of life situations, from urban to rural contexts, and to people at different stages of life. Jessica values rapport and aims to create a calm, respectful space for honest conversation.

She encourages progress over perfection and partners with clients to find realistic tools that fit their daily lives. People who want clear strategies, steady support, and a practical approach to emotional challenges may find this style helpful.

How Jessica Uses CBT, Client-Centered Work, and Mindfulness Online

Jessica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behavior experiments. CBT is practical and goal oriented, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and addictive behaviors.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals guide the work. That approach helps people feel heard and decide what changes matter most to them. Mindfulness Therapy is used to teach simple awareness exercises that reduce reactivity and improve focus in day-to-day life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean focusing on thought patterns one month and on mindfulness or narrative work the next.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation for skills practice and deeper discussion. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit into a work break. Live chat or text can be useful for shorter check-ins, quick problem-solving, or when typing feels easier than speaking. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy lives.
