About Jean

Jean Odachowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 17 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage trauma, relationship strains, parenting questions, and stress. Jean aims to make therapy approachable and practical for people who feel stuck or overwhelmed.

Jean uses EMDR as one of her tools to help people process painful memories and reduce their impact. She also draws on attachment-based ideas and client-centered listening to understand how past relationships shape current struggles.

Background and approach

Sessions are meant to be a place to talk honestly and work through difficult feelings without judgment. Her approach is straightforward. She helps parents build more consistent routines and clearer limits when parenting feels chaotic.

She also supports people dealing with grief, depression, anxiety, anger, and the day-to-day fallout of major life changes. Career stress and compassion fatigue are addressed with concrete steps for coping and pacing. Jean works with concerns related to adoption and foster care, attachment issues, postpartum and pregnancy-related mood changes, and recovery from sexual assault and abuse.

She also offers support around neurodiverse presentations such as ADHD and behavior challenges associated with DMDD. The focus is on practical strategies that fit each person’s life. Expect a collaborative process that respects where you are now and what you want to change.

Jean helps people set clear goals, try small experiments between sessions, and build skills that make daily life more manageable.

Online support

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jean often combines EMDR with client-centered and attachment-based methods. EMDR is used to help people reprocess disturbing memories so those memories feel less intrusive and overwhelming. Client-centered therapy focuses on active listening and empathy so clients can talk through what matters most to them. Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns affect current bonds and helps people try different ways of relating.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will work collaboratively to match methods to a person’s goals, history, and comfort with different techniques. Together they may try short-term goals, adjust techniques, and track what feels most helpful over several sessions.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls allow face-to-face interaction for EMDR and deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a break at work. Live chat and text messaging support quick reflections, check-ins between sessions, or a lower-intensity way to process thoughts. These options aim to make it easier to keep therapy consistent while fitting daily life.
