About Jessica
Jessica Cleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Mississippi who draws on nine years of experience to support people facing stress, anxiety, trauma, anger, and life transitions. She offers a warm, interactive style and aims to be a steady guide for people who want practical change. Jessica emphasizes collaboration and respect in sessions.
Her background includes community mental health work across the lifespan, from young children to retirees.
Background and approach
Much of her caseload has involved trauma and abuse, mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD. She has also worked with people managing parenting stress, postpartum depression, fertility struggles, and major life changes like divorce or relocation. Jessica uses an eclectic, person-centered approach.
She treats each person as the expert in their own life and tailors techniques to the situation. She blends client-centered listening with cognitive strategies and trauma-focused work to help people reduce distress and build skills. Sessions tend to feel supportive and sometimes laid-back, while also offering structure when someone wants it.
Jessica aims to help people identify realistic goals, practice new ways of coping, and make steady progress between sessions. Her work often combines skill-building, emotional processing, and practical problem solving. People who choose her can expect a nonjudgmental therapist who prioritizes sensitivity and compassion.
She frames therapy as a team effort and focuses on concrete steps that lead toward better day-to-day functioning.

How Jessica's Approaches Translate to Online Work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions let the therapist follow the person's lead and reflect back what matters most, which helps with motivation and clarity when tackling anger or stress.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions, and teaches practical skills to change patterns. Delivered remotely, CBT often uses short exercises between sessions and clear, goal-oriented work to reduce anxiety, anger, and mood symptoms.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and better communication. When someone struggles with intense emotions or impulsive reactions, DBT tools can provide step-by-step strategies to manage urges and repair relationships.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with the person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences. Together they adjust pacing, choose techniques, and track progress so treatment stays practical and relevant.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are not specified here. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and enable use of digital worksheets or between-session practice. These practical benefits often help people keep momentum while they work on anger, trauma recovery, or life transitions.
