More about Jessica
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Wisconsin with 20 of professional counseling experience.. I have experience in helping clients of all ages, with Autism, Depression, Bi-Polar, Anxiety, Stress, PTSD, Trauma and Abuse, Parenting Issues, Couples Issues, Career difficulties, and individuals with varying physical and mental health disabilities. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. While I am all the things I believe a "good" therapist should be (empathetic, good listener, validate, etc), I do think my style is very welcomes and appreciated by my clients because I am also DIRECT, I will challenge you, I believe that my clients came to me because they needed help to facilitate CHANGE, and in order to do that in my opinion, we have to be 100% honesty with each other, I will need to push some emotional button, to help get insight and self awareness, because without that we often can't facilitate change.... we can't change what we don't know or understand. I believe change is possible, I believe it can be empowering and freeing all at the time..... the question isn't can I change, or is change possible, the question is are you READY to change, and if your ready, I'm ready to help you on that journey!!!!!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.
- Available now.
- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
