Jessica Beane , LPC

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) practicing in Michigan. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a sociology minor from Wayne State University and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix. With more than a decade of experience in the mental health field, she has supported people across the lifespan from teenagers to older adults and served clients from urban, suburban, and rural communities.

Her clinical background includes roles in residential care for teenage girls, work as a youth counselor and direct care aide, service as a rehabilitation specialist at a clubhouse, and case management within a Community Mental Health agency. Those roles exposed her to a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, substance use and addiction, relationship and family challenges, domestic violence, self-esteem struggles, and sleep difficulties.

Jessica favors an integrated, client-centered approach that begins with building strong rapport so clients feel understood as they share sensitive material. She frequently draws on cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients see how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and on motivational interviewing to support readiness for change. Her work emphasizes progress over perfection, practical coping strategies, and helping people move toward greater well-being and authentic self-expression. Jessica aims to walk alongside clients through difficult transitions and recovery, offering steady, experienced guidance.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica Beane commonly uses client-centered work to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals guide the pace and focus of therapy. This approach helps people explore values, relationships, and personal strengths while building a trusting therapeutic relationship.

She also relies on cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), a practical method that helps clients identify and reframe unhelpful thoughts that influence emotions and actions. CBT is often effective for anxiety, depression, stress, and many daily coping challenges. Jessica pairs this with motivational interviewing to support clients who are ambivalent about change, helping them connect with their own reasons for growth and build motivation step by step.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey, and Jessica collaborates with each person to tailor methods to their needs, goals, and preferences. She reviews options, explains how techniques work, and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistency in care, fit sessions into busy lives, and access licensed professionals from home or other convenient locations.
