About Jean-Marie
Jean-Marie blends a humanistic, meaning-focused outlook with practical conversation. He draws on narrative ideas to look at the stories people tell about themselves and how those stories shape daily choices. He also uses Internal Family Systems ideas to notice different inner parts that may be acting out under stress.
Before becoming an LPC he spent more than 25 years in ministry and pastoral counseling and holds a Master of Divinity. He also completed a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling and is pursuing a doctorate in counselor education and supervision. That background informs his comfort talking about spiritual as well as secular concerns when clients want that included.
Sessions tend to focus on clearer thinking, better communication, and practical coping skills for work and life changes. He can help with caregiver stress, workplace strain, forgiveness, impulsivity, life purpose, and issues common in midlife. The tone is collaborative rather than directive - he walks alongside people as they try out change.
The practice has five years of professional counseling experience under the LPC credential. People interested in beginning work complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist’s availability.

How his approaches guide online work
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening with curiosity and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. It helps people who need space to name their goals and feel heard while making changes at their own pace.Existential Therapy looks at meaning, responsibility, and choices people face in midlife or during big transitions. This approach can help when someone is questioning purpose, facing loss, or trying to find direction after a major life change.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick and adapt methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That exploration may include trying different ways of talking and homework to see what helps most.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm the specific session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. It can also allow people to include discussions of spiritual or life purpose from wherever they are, while tailoring the pace and tools to daily routines.
