Jessica Beane, LPC

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) practicing in Michigan. She recognizes that seeking help is a brave step and brings more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field. Jessica earned a BA in psychology with a minor in sociology from Wayne State University in 2004 and completed an MS in Mental Health Counseling at the University of Phoenix in 2014. Her clinical background includes work as a youth counselor and direct care aide in a residential center for teenage girls, a rehabilitation specialist at a clubhouse, and a case manager for a Community Mental Health agency.

She has supported clients across the lifespan - from teenagers to older adults - and from a variety of communities including inner city, suburban, and rural settings. Jessica has experience addressing depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD, trauma and abuse, obsessive rituals and OCD, relationship and family problems, domestic violence, substance use and addictions, and self-esteem concerns. Her therapeutic approach emphasizes strong rapport and an integrated toolbox of techniques, with particular reliance on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - which explores how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors - and Motivational Interviewing - which helps clients find personal motivation for change. Jessica believes everyone deserves inner peace and works collaboratively with clients, emphasizing progress over perfection while supporting them through difficult steps toward wellbeing. She welcomes inquiries and assists clients in finding the treatment approach that best fits their needs.

Therapeutic Approaches for Remote Care

Jessica integrates Client-Centered Therapy into her work, creating space for clients to lead the conversation while she offers empathy, active listening, and nonjudgmental support to help clarify goals and values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - is used to identify and shift thought patterns that influence emotions and behaviors, and it can be especially helpful for anxiety, depression, sleep concerns, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing complements these methods by helping clients explore ambivalence and strengthen their own motivation for change, which is often useful for addiction, behavior change, and stages of recovery.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She and the client work together to try strategies, evaluate what helps, and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility - sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging - making it easier to fit support into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access consistent care from licensed professionals and therapists without travel constraints.
