Jean Kraljev, LPC, LCMHC

Jean Kraljev is a licensed counselor who helps people facing depression, addictions, self-esteem struggles, career stress, and life changes. She works with respect and compassion, and she aims to tailor sessions to each person’s needs. Jean encourages people to take the first step and acknowledges that starting therapy often takes courage.

With 25 years of clinical experience and credentials as an LPC and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC), Jean draws on several practical approaches. She often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful action.

Jean blends attachment-based and client-centered work to create a calm, listening space where clients can talk through relationship concerns, abandonment issues, or feelings of isolation. She also incorporates skills from dialectical behavior therapy for managing strong emotions and impulsivity when needed.

Her background includes long-term clinical work that addressed mood disorders, trauma and abuse, grief and hospice issues, and challenges like hoarding or compulsive behaviors. Jean supports people dealing with gender dysphoria, HIV/AIDS related concerns, and the fallout from infidelity or divorce.

Sessions are conducted in English and she is available to work with international clients. Before booking, clients should confirm current session options and scheduling details to match their needs.

How Jean’s approaches translate to online work

Jean uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to help people notice thinking patterns and build new daily habits. CBT focuses on specific thoughts and behaviors, so it often includes practical exercises and short skill practice between sessions.

She also uses acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT) to help clients clarify what matters to them and take small steps that match their values. ACT is useful for coping with chronic stress, life changes, and ongoing mood difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will listen to your goals and try methods that fit your needs and preferences. She adjusts techniques over time based on what helps you make steady progress.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find online therapy makes it easier to fit appointments into weekday breaks or to continue care when travel or relocation occurs. Online sessions can simplify check-ins, reduce commute time, and let clients practice skills in their usual routines while getting real-time coaching from a licensed professional.
