About Jessica

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Michigan who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addiction concerns, trauma, and mood challenges. She offers straightforward support for relationship and family problems, grief and loss, parenting strain, sleep difficulties, and questions about intimacy and self-esteem. Jessica draws on about 10 years of experience in mental health settings.

She began her work in residential care and community mental health, and has supported people from urban, suburban, and rural backgrounds.

Background and approach

Her path includes a BA in psychology from Wayne State University and a MS in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. Her style is warm and practical. She focuses first on building trust so people can talk about personal and painful topics.

She blends several approaches to meet each person where they are, with an emphasis on how thoughts shape feelings and behaviors. In sessions she often uses cognitive behavioral ideas to identify unhelpful thinking and motivational interviewing to help people find reasons to change. Narrative therapy also informs her work by helping people reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships.

Jessica believes progress matters more than perfection. She works together with clients to set manageable goals, practice new coping skills, and notice small changes. Her aim is to help people feel steadier, clearer about next steps, and more connected to what matters to them.

Approaches listed

Narrative Therapy in this listing

Narrative Therapy appears in this therapist's own list of approaches. That tells you it is part of how she works. It does not tell you how much of a session it shapes, and this directory does not check or rate training.

If a narrative approach is what you are looking for, it is worth asking Jessica directly how she uses it and what a session usually looks like.

How narrative and practical approaches work online

Jessica uses Narrative Therapy to help people examine and reframe the stories they tell about themselves and their relationships, which can reduce feelings of shame, isolation, and stuckness. Narrative work often helps when people feel defined by one negative event or label and want to see other possibilities.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening deeply and following the person's lead so goals grow from the client's priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thoughts, test them, and practice small behavior changes that ease anxiety, depression, and sleep problems.

Deciding which approach to use is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try different techniques, and adjust plans based on what feels most helpful. Finding the right fit is part of the work together rather than a one-time decision.

Online sessions can make therapy easier to fit into a busy life. Video calls let people work visually and read cues, phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited, and live chat or text messaging works for short check-ins or times when typing feels more comfortable. These formats offer flexibility for scheduling and for using therapy in ways that match daily life.
