About Jessica
Jessica Cleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi with nine years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She also addresses issues like ADHD, grief, eating concerns, and career transitions.
Jessica has a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and has spent much of her career in community mental health settings. That work exposed her to a wide range of ages and concerns, including postpartum depression, fertility-related stress, and trauma responses. She has supported people through life changes such as divorce, relocation, and career shifts.
Her counseling style is interactive and person-centered. Sessions mix straightforward conversation with concrete strategies. She uses methods from Emotionally-Focused Therapy, client-centered work, cognitive behavioral approaches, DBT skills, and EMDR when appropriate.
In sessions she listens for emotions that are hard to name and looks for practical steps people can try between meetings. She balances space for processing with options for skill-building and problem solving. For parents and people juggling many roles, she focuses on manageable change rather than large overhauls.
Jessica aims to work as a teammate with each person to set goals and track progress. She avoids labels that feel stigmatizing and emphasizes respect and sensitivity in her work. If someone wants to explore feelings tied to attachment, intimacy, or past hurt, she can offer focused therapy tools and supportive conversation.
How Jessica uses EFT, CBT and client-centered work online
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) focuses on identifying and naming strong emotions and how they shape important relationships. It can help when patterns of interaction or attachment make people feel stuck or misunderstood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers practical tools to change unhelpful patterns and reduce anxiety or depressive symptoms. Client-centered therapy prioritizes the person's own perspective, giving space for their concerns and helping them set their own goals.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jessica treats therapy as a collaborative effort and will work with each person to select techniques that fit their needs and preferences. Sessions often blend emotional focus with concrete skills so people leave with both insight and next steps.
