About Jessica
Jessica Edmundson is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of experience. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk about hard things and find practical ways forward. Jessica focuses on everyday struggles like anxiety, depression, stress, addiction concerns, and ADHD-related challenges.
She uses a solutions-oriented approach and tailors conversations to each person's needs. Sessions typically focus on building skills for managing distress, improving motivation, and strengthening self-esteem.
Background and approach
Jessica emphasizes empathy and gently challenges people to try new ways of coping. Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient settings helping people with substance use and trauma recovery. That experience informs how she supports clients through crisis and longer-term change.
She brings a calm, steady presence and practical tools to sessions. Jessica draws on a mix of approaches to match what the person needs. She blends client-centered listening with techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help change unhelpful patterns.
Dialectical behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment ideas are used when emotion regulation or values-based choices are the goal. Outside of work she is a wife and parent who enjoys being outdoors with her family and dogs. That personal perspective often shows up as a focus on manageable steps and routines.
She encourages people to acknowledge small wins as part of longer recovery and growth.
How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) encourages people to clarify what matters to them and take small actions toward those values while learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings. It can help with anxiety, depression, and motivation issues. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, and many stress-related problems. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and simple practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can aid attention difficulties and emotional regulation.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then together they will try methods that match those needs. She treats the choice of approach as collaborative and adjusts the plan based on what is working.
Online therapy offers practical benefits for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when seeing body language matters. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or the client prefers not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging let people check in between sessions or use shorter, more frequent touchpoints for skill practice. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, a caregiving routine, or when travel is difficult, while keeping the focus on consistent progress.
