Jean has been professional yet understanding of everything that I have discussed with her. I feel confident that she will tell me when I’m wrong or areas I need to work on, but also reassuring in the areas I feel like I’m lacking and she thinks I’m doing great. She has a great schedule for getting sessions in and is always on time to them.

- LCSW
I have been a Licensed Clinical Social Worker for more than 30 years. I have a BA in communications from Webster College and an MSW from St. Louis University, both located in St. Louis, MO. My work as a therapist has been in community mental health, in-patient psychiatry, addictions and in private practice. I also spent time as a behavior specialist for the Medicaid Waiver Program working with developmentally disabled people. My approach to therapy is typically client-centered. I use family systems, CBT, psychodynamic, motivational interviewing and other approaches in my work. I have been fortunate to have walked with hundreds of men, women and teens on their journey toward a more satisfying life, physically. psychologically and spiritually.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Jean is open and supportive of what I wanted to discuss. This was a good pairing for me.
Jean is a great listener and since we are close in age, she can relate to me!
Jean was very attentive to my concerns on our first meeting
Jean was very helpful and respectful. She was timely and responsive with her messaging and offered worksheets to help me communicate and work on my issues.
She has been great at listening to understand the issue and also suggested things I can to help as I work through my therapy journey.
Jean Cummings’s has been a life saver for me. What I felt was chronic depression was more of chronic grief. Not being able to know what to do with the emotions. I now do.
I was able to open up to her and she listened and gave me feedback and I was able to reflect and I honestly felt better even after just one session!
Great advice and makes complete sense. I feel better doing some of the things she recommends. Reading the 5 love languages has also opened my eyes to different forms of love that others need.
