Jean Elliott, LPC

Jean Elliott is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with 28 years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addictions, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem concerns. Her work centers on practical steps people can take to feel steadier and more in control of daily life.

Her approach is calm and straightforward. She listens first, then helps clients set clear goals. Sessions often include techniques to change unhelpful thoughts, manage strong emotions, and cope with difficult memories. Jean also draws on longer-term exploration of personal meaning and patterns when that fits the client's needs.

Jean regularly addresses issues such as codependency, communication problems, guilt and shame, feelings of emptiness, and caregiver stress. She helps people who face mood disorders, postpartum depression, or struggles related to drug and alcohol use. Work with her may include short-term problem solving or deeper work on recurring life patterns.

Her clinical tools include Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Jungian Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. She blends these methods to match each person's goals and situation. Sessions aim to build coping skills, improve relationships, and reduce symptoms that interfere with daily life.

People who choose Jean often want practical strategies plus thoughtful reflection. She guides step-by-step changes and supports clients as they test new habits outside sessions. To begin, clients select the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

Approaches you may use in online sessions

Jean blends practical, evidence-informed methods to address symptoms and life patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and testing new behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression symptoms. It is often used for stress, mood disorders, and many everyday struggles.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a method that helps people process troubling memories and the emotions tied to them. It is commonly used when trauma and post-traumatic stress are part of someone's concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jean will discuss goals and preferences and then suggest techniques that fit the client's needs. That plan can change as progress is made or new challenges arise.

If you are considering online work, confirm the current session formats before booking since they are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Different formats can also accommodate lower bandwidth or a preference not to use video. Talk with the therapist when you book to learn which options are offered and what will work best for your schedule and goals.
