She talked through Xavier while Xavier LET her. In all her actual combat scenes, against Toad, against mind controlled Cyclops, pinned to the statue of liberty with only sabertooth guarding, she never once used her telepathy in a combat manner.
Edit: To put it another way we saw how combat telepathy worked when Xavier did it, Jean never shut anyone down like that, or made them into unknowing slaves. Cerebro nearly made her pass out, Logan's mind nearly did as well, she was shown throughout the series as her telepathy being a distant second to her telekinesis.
