Jean Boulet, LCSW
Experienced LCSW combining body-focused and talk approaches
About Jean
Jean Boulet is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with 22 years of practice in North Carolina. He helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and problems with self-esteem. He also supports people coping with trauma and abuse and addresses relationship difficulties like communication and trust.
Jean keeps sessions straightforward and compassionate. He listens first, and then offers practical steps people can try between meetings. He uses somatic methods to help people notice how their body holds stress, and he blends other approaches to suit each person.
Background and approach
Over his career Jean has worked with many concerns related to attachment, abandonment, and codependency. He also supports people dealing with chronic pain, illness, or disability who are struggling emotionally. Other areas he addresses include eating and substance-related issues, dissociation, and problems around commitment and control.
His style is client-centered and goal oriented. He uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify thinking patterns that worsen symptoms. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing tools are added when they fit the person’s goals.
Jean meets people where they are and adapts methods to their needs. Sessions focus on clear, manageable steps and on building skills people can use outside therapy. He aims to make therapy practical and understandable for those who are nervous about starting.
Approaches that translate to online care
Somatic work focuses on how stress and emotions show up in the body. It involves noticing physical sensations, learning simple grounding skills, and using breath and movement to reduce tension. This can help with anxiety, trauma symptoms, and feeling stuck in automatic reactions.Client-Centered Therapy puts the person’s experience at the center. The therapist listens without judgment, reflects what is said, and supports the person in finding their own solutions. This approach is helpful for building self-understanding and confidence during change.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. It teaches practical skills such as testing unhelpful beliefs and trying small behavioral experiments. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and improving day-to-day coping.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jean will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and how symptoms show up, then try methods that fit. That collaborative process can include trying different techniques and adjusting as needed.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit busy lives. These options let people work from home, use shorter check-ins when helpful, and keep momentum between appointments. The variety makes it easier to continue therapy around work, caregiving, or medical needs.
