About Jean
Jean Kraljev is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of clinical experience. She works with people facing addictions, depression, and struggles with confidence and motivation. Jean also helps with career concerns and coping with major life changes.
Her approach focuses on practical steps that change thinking and behavior. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Attachment-Based ideas when they fit the issue.
Sessions are structured and goal-oriented. Jean uses straightforward conversation, skills practice, and short experiments between meetings to test what works. She aims to make sessions useful in day-to-day life, with simple actions clients can try right away.
Jean has worked across a range of issues related to relationships, trauma and loss, eating concerns, and career stress. Additional topics she supports include abandonment, communication problems, grief and end-of-life matters, gender dysphoria, and isolation or loneliness.
She offers guidance that blends problem solving with attention to values and connection. People who want concrete tools to manage mood, reduce impulsive reactions, and rebuild daily routines tend to find this practical style helpful. English-language services are provided and international clients are accepted.
How CBT, ACT, and attachment work in online sessions
Jean uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and homework to try between meetings. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) appears as focus on values and learning to let thoughts have less control over action. ACT work may involve mindfulness practices and decisions about what matters most. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at patterns in close relationships and how early connections influence current reactions; it helps people notice interaction styles and practice different responses.Choosing the right approach is part of the process. Jean will work collaboratively to match methods to a client's goals, needs, and preferences. That may mean focusing on CBT for symptom relief, bringing in ACT for values-based change, or using attachment ideas to address relationship patterns.
Confirm the current session options before booking because formats were not specified in the biography. Online work can help fit therapy into a busy life by reducing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins when needed, and making it easier to schedule sessions around work or caregiving. Many people find that doing skills practice between sessions helps learning stick, and online sessions support that continuity without requiring an in-person visit.
