Jean Vargo, LMFT

Jean Vargo approaches counseling from a conviction that people often need someone to believe in them when they cannot believe in themselves. She meets each person where they are and explores a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship struggles, patterns of over- or undereating, low self-esteem, forgiveness issues, spiritual questions, and challenges around identity. Together with clients she examines how these issues can drain meaning, balance, and purpose, and works to uncover what brings greater peace and direction to everyday life.

Jean collaborates with clients to clarify goals and identify practical steps toward those goals, aiming to walk alongside clients so she can understand how they make sense of their experiences. Her counseling style is warm and interactive and is grounded in respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She draws on pastoral psychotherapy and experience in family and marriage counseling while centering the client’s perspective.

Jean holds the LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - and integrates a range of therapeutic approaches to fit each person’s needs. Her work addresses grief, career and coaching concerns, addictions, family and parenting challenges, trauma and abuse, intimacy and eating-related issues, anger, self-esteem, ADHD, and coping with life transitions. Her practice also focuses on communication problems, control issues, relationship challenges such as infidelity and jealousy, and questions around life purpose, forgiveness, and self-love.
