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 issues such as stress, anxiety, depression, grief, addictions, anger, relationship and intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. Sessions focus on practical steps and clear goals rather than vague promises.
Jean began her career on an inpatient psychiatric unit and has worked across many settings. She has experience at a women’s shelter supporting survivors of physical abuse and people working through addiction. Her background also includes school counseling and individual outpatient work, so she is used to both crisis and longer-term care.
Her style centers on client-centered work that keeps the person’s culture and life situation in view. She uses mindfulness practices to help manage intense feelings and motivational interviewing to support change. Solution-focused techniques help set small, achievable goals to reduce anger and stress in daily life.
Jean prefers a collaborative approach. She works with clients to set specific goals and build practical plans. She does not promise quick fixes and describes progress as steady work over time.
Common topics she addresses include trauma and abuse, family of origin issues, codependency, panic attacks, and grief. She also helps people dealing with career stress, bipolar disorder, sexual assault recovery, and concerns tied to aging and caregiving.
Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her many years of varied clinical experience. Prospective clients are asked to confirm current session options before booking.
How sessions work
How Jean’s approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the client's concerns. Online sessions using this approach let the therapist respond to whatever is most pressing and build goals from the client's perspective. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity. Those exercises can be practiced during short online check-ins and repeated between sessions to manage anger spikes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide whether to emphasize mindfulness, motivational interviewing, or solution-focused steps so the plan fits the person's day-to-day life.
The profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, or caregiving by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. They can also let people practice tools in the same environment where problems arise, then bring observations back to the next meeting for refinement.
