About Jessica
Jessica Philippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes, and she lists young adult issues among her primary focus areas. Jessica draws on art-based work alongside talk therapy to help people process feelings and develop practical coping skills.
She began training with an interest in art and later added Clinical Mental Health Counseling to her skill set. That background informs how she uses creative approaches in sessions alongside evidence-based methods. Sessions typically mix conversation with hands-on or reflective activities that make emotional material easier to access.
Jessica uses strategies from cognitive and dialectical approaches, trauma-informed care, solution-focused work, and Art Therapy to address symptoms and patterns that keep people stuck. She helps people handle panic, obsessive thoughts, compulsions, mood shifts, and difficulties with body image or eating. Communication problems, guilt and shame, and feelings of abandonment are also within her focus.
Her experience includes supporting people through life transitions such as starting college, new jobs, relationship changes, and challenges common in early adulthood. She works in English and practices in Pennsylvania as an LPC. Sessions are arranged through a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.

Evidence-based approaches and online care
Jessica integrates art-based work with evidence-based techniques to support emotional processing and practical change. Art Therapy approaches use drawing or other creative activities to help people access feelings that are hard to name and to reflect on them in new ways. That can be helpful for body image concerns, eating issues, and emotional expression.She also draws from cognitive behavioral approaches that focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments. These methods aim to reduce anxiety, challenge obsessive thinking, and change patterns that maintain low mood or panic. Dialectical skills are used to build emotion regulation and distress tolerance for intense moments.
Finding the right approach is collaborative. The therapist will work with each person to decide which combination of creative work and evidence-based techniques fits their goals and preferences. That exploration happens in early sessions and is adjusted as needs change.
