About Jessica
Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of experience in the mental health field. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and challenges like sleep problems, parenting stress, and ADHD. Jessica often helps with career shifts, coping with life changes, and issues around self-esteem and intimacy.
She began her career in residential and community mental health settings. Those roles included youth residential care, rehabilitation support at a clubhouse, and case management in a Community Mental Health agency. That background gave her experience with people from different neighborhoods and life stages, and with concerns such as Bipolar disorder, PTSD, domestic violence, and substance use.
In sessions she focuses on building a working relationship first. Jessica uses an integrated approach and keeps a broad set of techniques available. She frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help people notice how thoughts influence feelings and actions, and to find momentum for change.
Her work also uses Client-Centered and Narrative approaches alongside mindfulness practices when helpful. That mix is intended to combine practical skill-building with chances to make sense of a person’s story. Jessica emphasizes steady progress rather than perfection and supports people who are ready to tackle difficult issues.
People interested in beginning can expect straightforward conversation about goals and steps. She asks about current challenges, what has helped before, and what a realistic next step looks like. The focus is on concrete changes and clearer choices to improve day-to-day functioning.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online sessions
Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing in her work. CBT helps identify unhelpful thoughts and develop practical skills to change reactions and behaviors, which can be useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep issues. Motivational Interviewing focuses on drawing out a person’s own reasons for change and building motivation, which often helps with addiction, impulsivity, and getting started on new goals.She also uses Client-Centered and Mindfulness approaches when helpful. Client-Centered work means sessions focus on the person’s concerns and pace. Mindfulness offers simple exercises to reduce reactivity and improve attention. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - she will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit, and adjust as progress is observed.
