Jean Godfrey-Fuschetto , LMHC

Jean Godfrey-Fuschetto is a Florida-based licensed mental health counselor with 23 years of professional experience supporting people through serious illness, loss, and major life changes. As an LMHC - Licensed Mental Health Counselor - she has concentrated much of her career in hospice settings, working directly with patients facing terminal diagnoses and with families during and after a loved one’s passing. Her practice emphasizes grief and bereavement care and includes helping people manage anxiety, depression, and the complex emotions that accompany chronic illness and caregiving.

Jean brings sensitivity and respect to each therapeutic relationship and adapts conversations and treatment plans to fit each person’s unique circumstances. She focuses on practical coping strategies and compassionate support for those navigating loneliness, caregiver stress, guilt, or the search for meaning after loss. Seeking help can take courage, and Jean aims to empower clients through thoughtful guidance, tailored interventions, and steady presence as they move through difficult transitions.

Evidence-Based Support for Grief, Stress, and Life Changes

Jean uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques tailored to grief and to the emotional effects of serious illness. Grief-focused supportive counseling provides a compassionate space to process loss, explore the range of emotions that follow bereavement, and develop ways to honor memories while adapting to life changes. This approach is helpful for people coping with the death of a loved one, end-of-life transitions, and ongoing bereavement challenges.

She also employs structured, skills-based interventions drawn from evidence-based practice to address anxiety, stress, and depression. These techniques focus on practical coping strategies, emotion regulation, and problem-solving to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning for caregivers, people with chronic illness, and those facing life transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process and will be decided collaboratively. Jean works with clients to identify goals, preferences, and the methods that feel most helpful, adjusting the plan as needs evolve. Online therapy through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offers flexible access to care, making it easier to schedule sessions around caregiving responsibilities, medical appointments, or mobility limitations while maintaining continuity of support.
