Background and approach
Jean began her career as a teacher and later became a behavioral specialist. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Education and French and a Master of Science in Family Therapy from Nova Southeastern University. Her background includes work in Florida schools, church programs, and independent practice.
Over decades she has supported people dealing with parenting stress, family conflict, self-esteem issues, career transitions, compassion fatigue, ADHD, and relationship problems. She also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, aging and caregiver stress, chronic illness, and communication difficulties. Jean describes therapy as a collaborative process.
She combines active listening with practical steps clients can try between sessions. The goal is steady, manageable progress so people can better cope with life changes and feel more in control.
How Jean’s Methods Work Online
Jean often draws on client-centered therapy online, which means she starts by listening closely and shaping sessions around each person’s needs. This approach helps when someone needs a calm space to talk about anxiety, grief, or parenting stress.She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which focuses on noticing unhelpful thoughts and trying small changes in thinking or behavior. CBT can be useful for anxiety, depression, and managing daily routines. Motivational Interviewing is another tool she uses to help people find their own reasons to change, useful for addictions, career shifts, or building new habits.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. Jean will discuss goals and try techniques together, adjusting the plan based on what feels helpful. Clients often mix approaches over time to match shifting priorities.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or require less bandwidth. Live chat or text messaging work well for quick check-ins, brief reflections, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
