More about Jessica
- 5 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Missouri with five years of experience working as a counselor. I have experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, personality disorders, and trauma history. I have worked with a range of ages, from as young as 4 to individuals in their 70’s.
When working with a client, I am warm and understanding and also enjoy using humor when appropriate. I believe everyone deserves to be seen as the expert in their own story. My approach to therapy is a combination of cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and person-centered therapy. Therapy sessions and treatment plans will be individualized to meet your specific needs.
I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey in an understanding, empathetic way.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Good
Jessica is a great listener and gives sound advice. She is compassionate, but gives objective opinions, which is perfect for me. Highly recommend!
And Jessica is a wonderful combination of kind considerate understanding and most importantly knowledgeable It is my genuine opinion that anybody that she works with is in good hands
Jessica has been great just letting me get what I need off my chest and being able to add some extra input or questions that I need to look at for me and just me. Things to reflect on or consider between each appointment. It’s so nice to have a place to do this and a person on the other end with the knowledge and skills to help.
Jessica is a good listener and she is very flexible. She quickly assesses what I need conversation wise and gives it. I feel safe and not judged, and heard all the time. I’m grateful for her and the points of reflection she’s given me.
Jessica is a wonderful active listener. I also love how she offers suggestions in a way that says “there are many different strategies. Let’s find something that resonates for you.”
Jessica has been amazing since I started BetterHelp.
Jessica is very easy to talk to and she talks back to you like you are a real person. She takes her time to understand what you are saying when you are having a hard time explain thoughts feelings or things that happen. She gives you time to become comfortable talking about things when you are not ready yet. She is simply amazing.
I've been with Jessica for a year now and she's been so supportive and helpful through my toughest time
Jessica is always timely, willing to listen but also give advice/ideas at the right time. Also checking in via messages to see how things are going.
A thoughtful therapist with lots of experience and advice
She is amazing and helping me through a rough time in my life.
She creates a low pressure safe space for untangling knots. Chill energy, open mind, excellent listener. Kindly.
Jessica takes her time to actually listen and gives ideas as to how to resolve issues.
Outstanding Therapist.
Jessica if needed will give me the space to word vomit if I have to. She also has given me somethings to work through and guides me when I get stuck. I really like that we still had a session even though we had to change it from a video call to a phone call with my work schedule being such a mess. I feel like she really cares about me and takes my time constraints into account!
I’ve been speaking with Jessica for a few months now, and she’s made me feel so comfortable and heard. She acknowledges my struggles and concerns and she is so kind in her approach to helping me. I am so thankful to have her in my corner.
Jessica has helped greatly with huge transition in my life. Through our sessions, I've been able to recognize patterns I felt were holding me back. I appreciate her time and thoughtfulness.
Jessica is possibly the best therapist I’ve ever had. It never felt awkward to share anything and I truly felt like she helped me through my issues. Would recommend in a heartbeat.
Appreciate the timeliness and availability of my therapist. I feel heard and given a space to confide as well as process my challenges.
Jessica is a great listener and makes helpful comments about issues I am dealing with.
Most of the time I just want to chat and don’t need the phone or video and this is the best thing. She always follows up in a very responsible time and super nice to chat with.
Jessica has given me much clarity in every session we meet, her ability to sift through the mess in my head and emotions is very impressive and much appreciated!
An excellent therapist
Jessica is amazing! Someone that I can come to with anything, I've loved our sessions so far!
She’s a great listener , very respectful and is very professional and understanding
Jessica is so patient and always quick to respond to my messages. She has a unbiased view which I really appreciate. I think her ability to really just let another person speak and for her to stay so grounded while another spills their heavy emotions, makes me have confidence in our convos.
