Jessica Beane, LPC

Jessica Beane is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified Advanced Alcohol and Drug Counselor (CAADC) practicing in Michigan. With more than 10 years of experience in the mental health field, she brings a varied background that includes work as a youth counselor and direct care aide in a residential center for teenage girls, a rehabilitation specialist at a clubhouse, and a case manager in a Community Mental Health (CMH) agency. Her academic training includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology with a sociology minor from Wayne State University (2004) and a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Phoenix (2014).

Beane has supported people across the lifespan, from teenagers to older adults, and has experience with clients from inner-city, suburban, and rural backgrounds. Her clinical work has addressed a broad range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, bipolar disorder, PTSD and trauma, abuse, rituals and OCD, relationship challenges, domestic violence, substance use and addictions, and issues related to self-esteem. She draws on a large therapeutic toolbox to match interventions to each personâs needs. Her integrated approach most often incorporates cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and motivational interviewing, while also using client-centered methods, mindfulness, narrative, psychodynamic, solution-focused, and trauma-focused techniques when appropriate.

Central to Beaneâs practice is building rapport so that people feel comfortable sharing difficult and personal material. She emphasizes the connection between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and works to help clients increase motivation for change. Guided by a belief that everyone deserves opportunities for inner peace and greater well-being, she centers progress over perfection and supports people in doing the hard work of change and growth.
