More about Jean
- 30 years' experience
- Female
- LCSW
I am a clinical social worker licensed in Missouri, with over 40 years of experience working in the field of addiction medicine. I am also credentialed as a co-occurring disorder specialist through the Missouri Credentialing Board. I work with clients who are experiencing mental health and substance use challenges, such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and concern about substances.
I use a strengths-based client centered approach, as I believe therapy is a collaborative relationship and the goal is to help you achieve health and wellness. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and strengths-based therapies. We will work together to determine the outcomes you hope to achieve and the best way to get there.
Asking for help is one of the most difficult things to do and if you are reading this – I hope you reach out to me or someone to find the help you need.
I look forward to the opportunity to work together!

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
