Jessica Beane , LPC

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) practicing in Michigan. The LPC credential indicates licensure as a professional counselor, and the CAADC denotes advanced certification in alcohol and drug counseling. She holds a BA in psychology with a minor in sociology from Wayne State University (2004) and an MS in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix (2014).

With more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field, she has worked in a range of roles including youth counselor and direct care aide at a residential center for teenage girls, rehabilitation specialist at a clubhouse, and case manager within a Community Mental Health agency. Her work has spanned populations from teenagers to older adults and settings that include inner city, suburban, and rural communities.

Her clinical experience covers concerns such as depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, obsessive-compulsive patterns, relationship and family issues, domestic violence, substance use and addictions, and self-esteem struggles. She emphasizes building strong rapport early in the therapeutic process and uses an integrated approach so that a wide array of tools can be matched to each person’s needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing are two of the primary models she employs, with attention to how thoughts influence feelings and behaviors and support for cultivating motivation to change.

Jessica values steady progress over perfection and aims to help people move toward greater well-being and their truest selves. She approaches work with compassion and practical support, assisting clients as they navigate difficult changes and pursue meaningful goals.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jessica Beane uses Client-Centered techniques that focus on building a strong therapeutic relationship and creating a respectful, nonjudgmental environment where a person’s values and goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another frequent approach she employs - it helps people identify and reshape unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills to manage symptoms like anxiety, depression, and sleep difficulties. Motivational Interviewing supports readiness for change by exploring ambivalence and strengthening personal motivation, which can be especially helpful for substance use, habit change, and commitment-related issues.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and is determined collaboratively. Jessica and each client work together to match methods to the client’s needs, goals, and preferences so that treatment feels relevant and manageable.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage with licensed professionals and therapists through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, overcome travel barriers, and maintain continuity of care during life transitions while working toward meaningful changes.
