Jean Odachowski, LPC

Jean Odachowski is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Virginia with 17 years of experience. She focuses on relationships, parenting concerns, and recovery from trauma. Jean aims to help people find clearer ways to communicate and manage stress so daily life feels more manageable.

She brings a straightforward, calm approach to sessions. Jean uses Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, attachment-based ideas, client-centered listening, and cognitive-behavioral tools when they fit the situation. She helps people process upsetting memories, repair attachment patterns, and practice new ways of coping.

In work with parents she has applied Parent-Child Interaction Therapy to strengthen connections and teach consistent limit setting. For trauma, she supports processing painful events and building practical coping strategies. For relationship concerns she focuses on communication, intimacy-related issues, and rebuilding trust step by step.

Jean also addresses stress, anxiety, depression, grief, anger, self-esteem, career strain, and compassion fatigue. Additional focuses include adoption and foster care, attachment issues, postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth, sexual assault and abuse, ADHD, and disruptive mood dysregulation disorder concerns.

Her style centers on listening without judgment and helping people take small, concrete steps forward. She encourages collaboration so each person’s goals shape the work. To begin, a short matching questionnaire and scheduling step will connect you to the next available appointment.

How Jean’s approaches translate to online work

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early connections affect current relationships. It helps people notice patterns in closeness and distance, and teaches small changes to improve trust and communication. Client-Centered Therapy centers on being heard; the therapist listens without judgment and follows the client’s goals to help clarify feelings and choices. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, or EMDR, helps people process distressing memories so those memories feel less overwhelming and coping improves.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jean will discuss what matters to you and together you will try methods that match your needs and goals. This collaborative process means approaches can shift as progress is made or as priorities change.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm the current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and make it simpler to continue work while balancing parenting or work obligations. Licensed professionals can adapt attachment, client-centered listening, and EMDR-informed techniques for remote sessions, and Jean will help decide what will work best for your situation.
