About Jessica
Jessica Crume is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Indiana with seven years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, parenting challenges, relationship and family concerns, ADHD, trauma and abuse, anger, and career or workplace issues.
She uses clear, practical methods in sessions. Jessica favors solution-focused and client-centered work, and draws heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Sessions focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, trying small changes, and building everyday skills that reduce distress.
Her background includes a bachelor’s degree in psychology and a Master of Social Work from Indiana University School of Social Work. She has worked in juvenile criminal justice settings, provided school-based therapy, and worked in community mental health. Those roles gave experience with problem-solving and short-term interventions.
In therapy she listens to what is most pressing and then helps people set concrete goals. Typical sessions include talking through recent problems, practicing a new response, and setting small steps to try between meetings. She uses motivational interviewing techniques to clarify what clients want to change and to support follow-through.
Clients can expect straightforward tools from mindfulness practice for stress management and solution-focused ideas to break big problems into manageable steps. Jessica also addresses communication, control issues, forgiveness, impulsivity, mood concerns, social anxiety, women’s issues, and young adult adjustments as part of her work.
She accepts clients who prefer English and is open to international clients. Anyone considering work with her is advised to confirm current session options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jessica blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, client-centered techniques, and mindfulness practice into practical online sessions. CBT involves spotting unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety or low mood. Client-centered methods focus on listening and clarifying what the client wants to accomplish. Mindfulness practice offers simple attention and breathing skills to reduce reactivity and improve focus.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. She will work with each person to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust plans based on what helps. Sessions may combine skill practice, short behavioral experiments, and motivational interviewing to support follow-through.
Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as specific options are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week - for example a shorter check-in during a lunch break or a session that does not require travel. It also allows practicing new skills where daily life happens, so clients can try changes between meetings and bring real examples to discuss.
