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 challenges, relationship and family concerns, and blended family issues.
She has a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and has spent much of her career in community mental health settings. Her caseload has included people with ADHD, bipolar disorder, eating concerns, grief, postpartum depression, and those coping with life changes such as divorce or relocation.
In sessions she uses a straightforward, interactive style. She often combines client-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and skills training from dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses emotionally focused approaches and EMDR when trauma processing is needed.
Jessica is comfortable working with people navigating parenting stresses, fertility and postpartum issues, and the particular tensions that come with blended households. She helps people talk through relationship conflicts, loyalty dilemmas, and changing household roles.
Clients can expect a mix of reflection, problem solving, and skill practice. She matches techniques to the problem at hand and the person’s preferences. The aim is clearer choices and easier day-to-day coping rather than labels or long technical explanations.
To begin she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and she accepts international clients.
How Jessica blends therapy methods online
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and working from the person’s goals. The therapist follows the client’s lead and reflects what matters most to them. This is useful for people who want to sort priorities and feel heard.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going. Sessions include practical exercises and homework to test new ways of thinking and acting. CBT is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related issues.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps process distressing memories so they feel less activating. It is used when past events are still causing strong reactions in day-to-day life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the person about their goals, try methods that match those goals, and adjust based on what helps. That collaborative process guides whether more skills work, trauma processing, or reflective listening is emphasized.
