About Jessica
Jessica Cleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship and parenting difficulties, and issues common in early adulthood such as career changes and life transitions.
Jessica spent much of her career in community mental health settings. She has worked with people across the lifespan and with a wide range of concerns including OCD, ADHD, postpartum mood difficulties, grief, and trauma from abuse. She also supports those navigating fertility challenges and major life changes like divorce or relocation.
Her style is interactive and grounded in respect. She tends to be relaxed in session but also offers structure when people want it. She avoids stigmatizing labels and treats clients as the experts on their own lives.
Jessica draws from several therapeutic approaches to address practical problems and emotional distress. She uses client-centered methods alongside cognitive behavioral techniques and trauma-focused tools. She also incorporates dialectical skills and emotionally-focused ideas when these fit a person’s goals.
Sessions focus on clear steps people can use outside of therapy. That can look like skill practice for anxiety, strategies for managing mood, or processing difficult memories through established trauma methods. For young adults, Jessica often addresses work and school stress, relationship patterns, and the pressure of life transitions.
To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and reflecting so people can sort their thoughts and feelings. Online sessions let this happen through regular conversations where the therapist mirrors concerns and asks clarifying questions to help build insight.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In remote sessions that can mean learning short exercises, practicing coping strategies between meetings, and reviewing how those tasks went in follow-ups.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is used for processing traumatic memories. When EMDR fits someone’s goals, the therapist adapts the pacing and checks in frequently while guiding the process during sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that suit those needs. That plan is adjusted collaboratively as therapy progresses.
The practical benefits of online work include easier scheduling around school or jobs, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and options that can fit different daily routines. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online session options before booking. Online work aims to integrate short skill practice, focused discussion, and trauma processing into regular life rather than demanding large blocks of time.
