About Jean
Jean Beatie is a licensed counselor based in Missouri with 35 years of experience. She is credentialed as an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor - and LCPC - Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. She focuses on parenting concerns along with stress, anxiety, grief, depression, addiction, and relationship and intimacy-related issues.
Her practice style is warm and collaborative. She starts by listening to a person's current situation and then helps set clear, manageable goals.
Background and approach
Sessions aim to be practical and grounded so parents and individuals can take small steps forward between meetings. Jean draws on several evidence-based methods to guide sessions. She uses client-centered listening to follow what matters most to each person.
She incorporates mindfulness to help bodies and minds calm down. Motivational interviewing is used to build motivation for change, and solution-focused work helps identify concrete next steps. Her background includes inpatient psychiatric care, work at a shelter for women affected by physical abuse and addiction, school counseling at the elementary level, and outpatient mental health settings.
That variety informs her approach to grief, trauma, codependency, family-of-origin issues, and other concerns. Jean pays attention to cultural identities and life choices during treatment planning. She works with clients on issues such as panic, obsessive-compulsive symptoms, polyamory and non-monogamous relationship challenges, seasonal affective disorder, and sexual assault and abuse.
Sessions are offered in English and framed to fit each person's life and parenting priorities.

How Jean Uses Therapeutic Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the client. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects feelings, and helps people clarify priorities and choices. This approach is useful for parents and individuals who need someone to hear their experience and help them map next steps.Mindfulness adds simple, in-the-moment practices for easing stress and improving focus. Short breathing and grounding exercises can reduce anxiety and help with mood shifts, which is helpful when parenting demands feel overwhelming. Motivational interviewing helps people find their own reasons to change and build small, realistic steps toward those goals.
Finding the right mix of approaches is collaborative. Jean will work with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, values, and daily life. She checks in regularly and adjusts plans based on what works and what does not.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions are useful when bandwidth is limited or when a screen is not needed. Live chat and messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to reflect between sessions. These options make therapy easier to fit around school, work, and family routines.
