About Jessica
Jessica Hankins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) based in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, and parenting concerns. She also works with issues related to trauma and abuse, eating concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar mood concerns, and coping with life changes.
Jessica uses a person-centered approach alongside cognitive behavioral methods and Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people notice patterns and respond differently. She encourages practical steps clients can try between sessions. Sessions are conversational and paced by the client so people can bring what feels most pressing that day.
Her background includes a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and a Master of Arts with an Advanced Certificate in School Psychology from the State University of New York College at Buffalo. She holds the LPC credential and has worked in mental health settings for over a decade. This experience includes supporting youth and adults with learning differences and autism spectrum concerns.
In sessions she often combines solution-focused techniques and mindfulness practices with CBT and EFT elements. That combination is used to help with emotional regulation, clearer communication, and breaking reactive patterns. Jessica also offers parent coaching aimed at practical strategies for daily family life.
People who prefer straightforward, action-oriented work find her style direct and practical. She invites clients to identify goals and to test new responses between meetings. To start, readers are asked to use the site’s onboarding steps to match and schedule a first session.
How Jessica integrates EFT, CBT, and client-centered work online
Jessica uses Emotionally-Focused Therapy to help people identify and name strong emotions and the interaction patterns that keep them stuck. EFT focuses on tracking feelings and how those feelings shape responses in close relationships and stressful situations.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and supporting the client's pace and focus. That approach is useful when someone needs space to sort thoughts or try new ways of responding. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy is used to spot unhelpful thoughts and test practical behavior changes; CBT often helps with anxiety, mood, and coping strategies.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That choice can shift over time as goals change.
