About Jean

Jean Hair is a Maine-based LCSW who helps people navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, life transitions, and related challenges. She frames therapy around each person’s unfolding process, encouraging self-reflection, mindful presence, and practical steps to build confidence, set boundaries, and reconnect with personal values.

Background and approach

Clients can expect an emphasis on embodied living and empowerment as they explore what feels meaningful and healing. Her approach integrates talk therapy with evidence-informed tools such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR for trauma processing, mindfulness practices, and elements of Jungian work including attention to dreams and inner symbolism.

Art as self-expression and compassionate listening are woven into sessions when helpful. With 26 years of professional experience licensed in Maine (ME LCSW LC6435), she draws on a broad clinical background to tailor methods to individual needs and preferences.

Therapeutic approaches and online options

Jean integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and EMDR alongside client-centered principles to address emotional and behavioral concerns. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building concrete skills to manage anxiety, depression, and stress. EMDR offers a structured way to process traumatic memories and reduce their ongoing impact by using targeted protocols alongside safe therapeutic support. Client-centered work emphasizes empathic listening and collaboration, helping clients feel heard and guiding them to find their own inner resources and goals.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic journey and will be discussed collaboratively. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to their needs, goals, and comfort level, adjusting techniques as progress unfolds to ensure the plan makes sense and feels useful.

Online therapy is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make regular sessions more accessible and flexible. These formats allow ongoing skill practice, check-ins between sessions, and adaptable scheduling to fit work, caregiving, or geographic constraints while maintaining continuity of care with a licensed professional.
