About Jean

Jean Odachowski is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 17 years of clinical experience. She centers her practice on client-focused, trauma-informed work that encourages insight, growth, and practical change.

Background and approach

Jean blends attachment-based and client-centered perspectives with evidence-informed techniques to help people address relationship challenges, parenting concerns, and the aftereffects of traumatic events. Her approach includes EMDR for processing distressing memories and CBT strategies for shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

She has supported clients coping with anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, and life transitions, and she brings particular attention to issues such as adoption and foster care, attachment difficulties, postpartum challenges, and sexual assault recovery. Jean also works with those navigating ADHD-related concerns and compassion fatigue, offering coaching-style support when helpful.

In sessions she aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where clients can explore emotions and try new ways of relating. Jean frames therapy as a collaborative process focused on building skills, increasing understanding, and empowering clients to pursue a more satisfying and resilient life.

Combining attachment, EMDR, and CBT for online care

Jean frequently draws on attachment-based therapy to explore how early relationships shape current patterns of connection and safety. This approach helps people identify relational themes and develop new ways of relating that improve closeness and communication.

She also uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) to help clients process traumatic memories and reduce their emotional intensity, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors that contribute to anxiety, depression, or stress. Each method offers practical tools for managing symptoms and building resilience.

Deciding which approach to use is part of the therapeutic process and is done collaboratively. The therapist will work with clients to consider their goals, history, and preferences and tailor interventions accordingly rather than applying a one-size-fits-all method.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, practice skills between sessions, and access support from home or another convenient location.
