About Jean
Jean Kraljev is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) with 25 years of experience practicing in Florida. She works with adults who are facing depression, addictions, relationship strain, career stress, and issues around self-esteem. She also lists support for guilt and shame among her focus areas.
Jean keeps sessions straightforward. She listens to what matters most and helps people sort through the feelings that get in the way of daily life. She uses plain language in sessions and focuses on practical steps that feel doable between appointments.
Her work draws on several therapy approaches. Jean uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts without being driven by them. She leans on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking that keep problems cycling. Attachment-based ideas inform how she talks about relationship hurts and long-standing worries about belonging.
Clients who come for help with guilt and shame often explore where those feelings began and what they ask for now. Jean helps identify small, specific changes people can try and practices to steady emotions in difficult moments. She also supports people coping with life transitions, grief, and burnout related to caregiving or high-stress work.
Sessions are conversational and goal-focused. Jean encourages clear next steps and regular check-ins on what is or isn’t helping. Those interested in starting are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial visit through the site.
How her therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without letting them dictate actions. It focuses on values-based steps so someone can act toward what matters even when emotions are strong. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to change patterns that cause distress. Attachment-Based Therapy examines how early relationship patterns influence current trust and connection, which can help with persistent shame or relational pain.Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their goals, what has or hasn’t worked before, and together they will try approaches that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Sessions can shift if something isn’t helping or if different tools are needed.
The profile does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find that scheduling therapy online can fit better into busy days, allow shorter check-ins between commitments, or make it easier to try therapy without traveling. The focus is on practical ways to fit work into everyday life while testing helpful skills between sessions.
