Jean Odachowski , LPC

Jean Odachowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 17 years of professional experience. Her work focuses on supporting individuals and families navigating relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and the effects of trauma. She brings clinical experience with Parent Child Interaction Therapy, helping caregivers strengthen their connection with children while learning consistent limit setting and predictable consequences.

Jean also integrates Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to assist people in processing traumatic events and developing practical coping strategies for disturbing memories and reactions. In addition to trauma work, her practice addresses stress, anxiety, grief, intimacy issues, anger, self-esteem, career concerns, and life transitions, with attention to areas such as adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, postpartum depression, and sexual assault and abuse.

Her approach emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental environment where thoughts and feelings can be explored honestly. Jean recognizes that seeking change takes courage and aims to support and empower individuals and families as they work toward greater well-being and more fulfilling relationships.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jean integrates Attachment-Based Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her practice. Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on the ways early relationships shape current connection patterns and helps clients build safer, more responsive bonds; it is often useful for family dynamics, adoption and foster care issues, and attachment concerns. CBT helps people identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, offering practical tools for managing anxiety, depression, stress, and everyday coping challenges.

She also uses EMDR to help individuals process traumatic memories and reduce the intensity of distressing reactions, pairing that work with strategies to increase resilience. Choosing the right approach is collaborative - Jean works with each person to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences and adjusts the plan as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexibility and accessibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing sessions to fit into busy schedules and different life circumstances. These options make it easier to engage in consistent care, maintain continuity during life transitions, and access support from locations across Virginia with licensed professionals and therapists who tailor their methods to each client.
