About Jessica

Jessica Edmundson is an Ohio-licensed LPCC clinician with twelve years of professional experience helping people move forward from difficult situations.

Background and approach

She focuses on practical, skills-based work for concerns such as addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, grief, and stress, and she adapts treatment to each person’s unique needs and goals. Jessica emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion while creating a collaborative, solutions-oriented space where clients can build motivation and learn tools to manage symptoms and life transitions.

Her approach blends evidence-informed techniques including cognitive behavioral strategies, mindfulness-based practices, and client-centered principles to promote insight and lasting change. Jessica draws on experience across inpatient and outpatient settings to support people dealing with relationship and intimacy challenges, parenting and family stress, chronic health concerns, and a range of mood and behavioral issues.

Outside of work she is a wife and mother who values time outdoors and small daily rituals, and she uses that same practical mindset to help clients identify manageable steps toward improvement.

Approaches that guide online sessions and practical benefits

Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, teaching concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) is another approach she uses to support values-based action and acceptance strategies when clients are coping with difficult emotions or life changes. Client-centered therapy complements these methods by prioritizing empathy and collaboration so clients can explore concerns at their own pace and feel heard.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and she works with clients to determine what combination of techniques fits best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. This collaborative stance means treatment plans are tailored and adjusted over time to reflect progress and shifting priorities.

Online therapy with her is offered through a range of formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible for people juggling work, family, or health needs. These options can increase access to consistent care and allow clients to use the communication style that feels most comfortable for them, while still engaging in structured therapeutic work.
