Jean McBride, LMFT

Jean McBride is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in Colorado with 30 years of experience working with individuals, couples, and families. She regards therapeutic work as a deeply meaningful vocation and brings a warm, intuitive, and interactive style that emphasizes collaboration and client empowerment. She believes in people and their capacity to make changes, and she frames the counseling relationship as a joint effort focused on practical, meaningful progress.

Her clinical approaches include client-centered therapy, mindfulness therapy, and solution-focused therapy, applied to a wide range of concerns such as relationship and family issues, grief, parenting, self-esteem, stress, anxiety, anger, depression, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include blended family dynamics, communication problems, divorce and separation, family of origin issues, fatherhood matters, guilt and shame, narcissism, and women’s issues.

McBride is also an author of three books: Encouraging Words for New Stepmothers; Talking to Children About Divorce; and Raising Resilient Children with a Borderline or Narcissistic Parent. For 25 years she developed and taught a curriculum for court-ordered classes for divorcing parents in Colorado, with just over 25,000 parents attending those programs.

Her combined background in clinical practice, writing, and parent education informs her work with people navigating divorce, remarriage, parenting challenges, and other stressful life transitions, offering experienced guidance and practical strategies to help families move forward.
