About Jessica
Jessica Kelley is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults who feel stuck, overwhelmed, or unsure what comes next after changes in work, relationships, or health. Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, and coping with life changes.
Jessica uses a mix of evidence-based techniques to help people build skills and practical coping strategies. She draws on cognitive approaches and trauma-focused methods alongside a Christian counseling perspective when a client prefers that. Sessions aim to clarify priorities, reduce intense symptoms, and create steps that fit into everyday life.
Her background includes a decade of supporting people through transitions, parenting strain, and recovery from traumatic events. She describes her work as practical and skill-focused, helping people practice new ways of responding to old patterns. Clients can expect direct feedback, skill building, and opportunity to reflect on values and goals.
Jessica pays attention to communication problems, family-related stress, guilt and shame, life purpose, self-love, women's issues, and concerns common to young adults. She helps people identify small experiments they can try between sessions to test what feels useful. Her approach is collaborative - she partners with each person to decide which methods to use.

How her therapeutic methods translate to online work
Jessica often uses cognitive techniques that help people notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. These approaches teach practical skills for managing anxiety and low mood, and are useful for people who want step-by-step tools to try between sessions.She also draws on trauma-focused methods that support processing difficult memories and reducing their day-to-day impact. These techniques focus on stabilizing symptoms first, then gradually addressing distressing experiences in ways that feel manageable.
Finding the right method is part of the work together. She will talk with each person about their symptoms, goals, and preferences and adapt the plan as they learn what helps. This is a collaborative process where approaches are checked and adjusted over time.
Confirm session formats before booking so you know how meetings are arranged. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, for example by reducing travel time or allowing shorter check-ins during a work break. Some formats use less bandwidth or do not require the camera to be on, which can make sessions feel more practical on a given day. Therapists and licensed professionals often find online sessions effective for skill practice and regular progress checks.
