About Jessica
Jessica Cleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship and family problems, and questions about life purpose.
She spent much of her career in community mental health, working with people across a wide age range and with diverse needs. Jessica has supported people after traumatic events and various forms of abuse. She also works with new mothers facing postpartum depression and anxiety and with clients navigating fertility challenges.
Her style is interactive and adaptable. Jessica balances a relaxed presence with more structure when a client prefers clear steps and techniques. She uses a person-centered approach and draws on multiple therapies to match what a person needs in session.
In practical terms she uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, emotionally focused work, EMDR, and mindfulness. That means sessions can include skills practice, attention to emotions and relationships, and trauma-focused strategies when appropriate. She also addresses career transitions, parenting strain, anger, ADHD, grief, and intimacy-related concerns.
Jessica frames therapy as a collaborative effort. She helps people identify goals, try out new ways of coping, and plan next steps. To begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session so they can see how the work might fit their current life.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and collaboration. In practice this means the therapist asks questions, reflects what matters most, and helps clients set goals and decide which steps to try next. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can be used for anxiety, depression, and work or relationship stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is a trauma-focused method that works with distressing memories through specific processing techniques; it is often used for post-traumatic stress and trauma-related symptoms.Finding the best approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to identify goals, test out techniques, and decide whether to focus on skills, emotional patterns, or trauma processing. That collaborative process helps refine which methods will be most helpful over time.
The original biography does not list explicit session formats, so confirm the available options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while they work through stress, life transitions, parenting concerns, or recovery from trauma.
