About Jean
Jean Odachowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with relationship strain, parenting challenges, trauma, anxiety, depression, and ADHD. Jean aims to create a calm space where people can talk without feeling judged and take steps toward clearer goals.
Her work often centers on attachment and relationships. She uses attachment-based ideas to help people understand patterns in close relationships and how those patterns affect daily life.
Background and approach
Narrative therapy helps people tell their stories in new ways so painful events feel less defining. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is part of her approach for managing anxiety, stress, anger, and low mood. Jean helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to find what works.
She combines practical exercises with straightforward conversation. She also offers Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, commonly called EMDR, to support processing of traumatic memories and intense reactions. That work is paced to each person’s needs and comfort level.
Parents and caregivers often seek her help for parenting skills, attachment concerns, adoption and foster care questions, postpartum mood changes, and related stress. She draws on experience helping parents build consistent routines and clearer boundaries. Jean describes her role as supportive and collaborative.
She helps people set achievable steps, cope with life changes, and work toward more satisfying relationships and daily functioning.
How Jean’s approaches work online and in session
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds shape current relationship patterns. Jean uses it to help people notice repeated interaction styles and try new ways of connecting that feel safer and more satisfying. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions; she uses simple exercises to reduce anxiety, manage anger, and change unhelpful habits. EMDR, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, supports processing of traumatic memories so they have less emotional charge and lead to fewer intense reactions.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jean works with each person to decide what fits best based on goals, comfort, and what has or hasn’t helped before. She may blend methods and adjust pacing so the work feels manageable and relevant to day-to-day life.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how people connect. Video calls make it possible to have a conversation that feels close to an in-person visit. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when being off camera helps someone focus. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, ongoing coaching, or quick coping reminders between sessions. These options help people fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules.
