About Jean Bennett
Jean emphasizes an open, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be explored. She brings a laid-back, genuine manner to sessions that helps people feel more at ease while they sort through difficult material. Counseling, in her view, is a conversational process focused on identifying options and building practical steps toward change, rather than an overly clinical or prescriptive approach.
Working collaboratively, she supports and empowers individuals to clarify goals, develop coping skills, and create sustainable change. Her approach combines evidence-based techniques with an emphasis on empathy and respect, helping clients navigate life transitions, stress, relationship conflicts, and the lasting effects of trauma.

Jean Bennett draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and emotionally-focused therapy (EFT) to guide online work. Client-centered therapy emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping individuals feel heard and respected while they explore values, goals, and emotional experience.

Emotionally-focused therapy concentrates on relational patterns and emotional bonds, making it useful for couples and individuals addressing attachment, intimacy, and relationship distress.
Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the process, and Jean works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She combines methods as appropriate and adjusts plans over time so therapy remains responsive and practical.
