About Jean
Jean Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 28 years of experience. She focuses on helping people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addictions, and trauma. Jean aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who are worried or overwhelmed.
Her work often centers on self-esteem, communication problems, and difficult life transitions. She helps clients sort through feelings of emptiness, guilt, and shame, and addresses issues tied to caregiver stress and codependency.
How Jean works
Sessions look at what is happening now and what small steps can bring relief. Jean uses a mix of approaches tailored to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior.
When trauma is involved, she may use Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing to reduce the emotional intensity of past events. She also incorporates Jungian ideas to examine personal meaning and recurring life patterns, alongside solution-focused work to set clear, reachable goals. The result is a practical plan that fits each person's needs and pace.
Jean keeps language plain and sessions focused on usable tools. People come away with clearer communication skills, better coping strategies for mood and stress, and concrete steps toward recovery from addiction or trauma. She works with people over video, phone, chat, or text to make ongoing support possible.

Online support options
Approaches that translate to online care
Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, often through practical homework and step-by-step skill building that works well over video or messaging. She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing for processing traumatic memories; this approach focuses on reducing the emotional intensity of past events and can be adapted for guided work in video sessions.Choosing the right approach is part of the therapy process. Jean collaborates with each person to decide whether CBT, EMDR, Jungian ideas, or solution-focused steps will best match their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they monitor what helps and adjust methods as progress unfolds.
Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and EMDR work, phone sessions can be a reliable option with lower bandwidth, and live chat or text-based messaging supports brief check-ins or ongoing support between sessions. These options offer flexibility so people can keep therapy consistent while managing work, caregiving, or travel.
