Jessica Erickson

Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of counseling experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, anger, relationship and family concerns, grief, and parenting strains. She also works with issues like low self-esteem, bipolar mood challenges, and the effects of caregiving and codependency.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. She listens first and treats each person as the expert on their life. Jessica uses plain language in sessions and will use gentle humor when it fits the moment. Sessions are shaped to fit what the person needs rather than following a fixed script.

Jessica blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and she also draws on mindfulness and motivational interviewing. That mix lets her help people notice thought patterns, learn new coping skills, and practice calmer responses to strong emotions like anger.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns related to trauma, grief, attachment, adoption and foster care history, domestic violence, dissociation, obsessive or compulsive behaviors, and recovery from loss or separation. Her background includes supporting people through life transitions and complex, overlapping challenges.

People who choose her can expect individualized treatment plans and a collaborative approach to setting goals. Jessica welcomes international clients and conducts sessions in English. To begin, clients follow the site process to match and schedule a first session.

How Jessica’s Methods Work Online

Jessica blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) into a practical online approach. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and making space for the person’s own goals. It helps people feel heard and understood as they explore change.

CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses clear exercises to identify unhelpful thinking and practice new ways of responding to stress, anxiety, or anger. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and skills for managing intense reactions - useful when anger or mood swings are a concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. That might mean trying one approach first and adjusting over time based on what helps.

The original biography does not list specific session delivery methods, so confirm the available online formats before booking. Online work can make therapy easier to fit into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals often use these options to help people keep therapy consistent while juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
