About Jean
Jean Beatie is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri and a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Kansas with 35 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship and family concerns, addictions, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Sessions address practical problems such as parenting strain, career pressures, and intimacy-related issues as well as longer-standing patterns that come from the family someone grew up in.
Jean began her counseling work on an inpatient psychiatric unit and has practiced in community settings ever since. Her background includes work at a shelter for women leaving abusive situations, roles as a children’s therapist, and experience providing individual outpatient mental health counseling. She currently practices with an elementary school counseling background and has supported people across the lifespan.
Her approach centers on client-centered methods and collaboration. She uses straightforward goal-setting and evidence-informed techniques to help people cope and make changes. Mindfulness practices are used to build awareness. Motivational interviewing supports movement toward goals and solution-focused conversation keeps sessions practical.
In sessions Jean pays attention to how culture and life choices shape problems and solutions. She helps people identify patterns that started in childhood and then consider different ways of relating in the present. Work can include grief processing, managing panic and OCD symptoms, addressing codependency, or handling difficult relationship dynamics.
People who choose Jean should expect gradual, work-focused therapy that emphasizes clear goals and steps. She sees the work as collaborative and practical, and uses a mix of listening, skill practice, and short-term strategies alongside longer-term exploration when needed.
How Jean uses evidence-based approaches online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting what matters to the person, and working together to set goals. It helps people who need a steady, collaborative place to sort through feelings and choices. Mindfulness Therapy uses simple attention practices and breathing work to reduce reactivity and build focus; it can be useful for anxiety, stress, and managing strong emotions. Motivational Interviewing is a conversational method that helps people find reasons to change and move toward concrete steps, which can be helpful for addictions, career shifts, or making life changes.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. The therapist will work collaboratively to choose methods that fit each person's needs, goals, and preferences. Sessions usually include planning, skill practice, and regular review of progress so adjustments can be made together.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as specific formats are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around daily life, for example by avoiding travel, allowing shorter check-ins during a busy day, or using a phone call when video bandwidth is limited. Licensed professionals commonly adapt mindfulness exercises and solution-focused tasks to remote work so clients can practice skills between sessions.
