Rickia Jessup-Clowney, LPC

Rickia Jessup-Clowney is an LPC licensed in South Carolina with five years of professional experience. She works with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and people coping with life changes. Rickia focuses on practical steps people can use when daily pressures feel overwhelming.

She listens for the patterns that keep problems active, such as avoidance, harsh self-talk, or difficulty trusting others. Conversations tend to be straightforward and goal-oriented. Sessions look at small, manageable changes you can try between meetings. Rickia emphasizes the client as the expert in their story and builds on existing strengths.

When trauma or abuse is part of someone’s past, she helps them name what happened and notice its effects on feelings and behavior now. For stress and anxiety she supports breathing down the worry and testing assumptions that cause panic or avoidance. For low self-worth the work often includes noticing critical self-talk and practicing new, realistic self-statements.

She also helps people facing life transitions - new jobs, relationship shifts, or moving to a new place - to make clearer decisions and cope with the uncertainty that follows. Conversations can cover communication problems, commitment concerns, and setting boundaries when control issues or family problems are present.

Rickia works in English and practices in South Carolina. Her approach is practical and collaborative, aimed at helping people take the next step when they feel stuck.
