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 clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, addictive behaviors, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and codependency. Sessions are conducted in English and her background spans inpatient, outpatient, school, and shelter settings.
Jean has worked across many settings, including an inpatient psychiatric unit and a shelter for women who experienced physical abuse or substance problems. She currently works as an elementary school counselor and has provided individual outpatient counseling for adults. That range means she has seen short-term crises and longer-term, complex difficulties such as complex trauma, sexual and physical abuse, and adult children of alcoholics.
Her way of working is grounded in client-centered practice. That means sessions focus on what a person brings and on collaborative goal-setting. She uses evidence-based techniques such as mindfulness, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused strategies to address symptoms and daily struggles.
In practical terms Jean aims to help people set concrete goals and develop steps to reach them. She pays attention to cultural background and lifestyle and talks with clients about what fits their life. She does not promise quick fixes and expects progress to take time and steady effort.
People who seek help for people-pleasing, trouble saying no, or living around someone else’s drinking will find her experience relevant. Her work includes grief, parenting concerns, communication problems, sexual assault and abuse, bipolar disorder, panic, OCD symptoms, and aging-related issues.
How sessions work
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In practice that means the therapist checks in about what matters most to the client, helps set clear goals, and adapts sessions to the person’s pace and priorities. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and manage anxiety or stress, which can be used between sessions to handle difficult moments.Figuring out the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss goals, personal preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past. Together the client and therapist decide which techniques to try and adjust them as needed so the work fits day-to-day life.
Confirm the current session options before booking, because formats are not specified in the biography. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when that suits a schedule. It can also allow use of mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing techniques during regular weekly or biweekly meetings to practice new skills between sessions.
