About Jessica
Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of experience. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and coping with life changes.
She uses a practical style that helps people notice thoughts and habits. Sessions focus on concrete steps, short experiments, and learning new ways to respond. Jessica combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches to guide that work.
In session she listens to what matters most to each person. Treatment plans are built around the problems a person brings and the goals they describe. She also brings techniques from mindfulness and motivational interviewing when they fit the situation.
Her experience includes a wide range of focus areas such as attachment and abandonment issues, adoption and foster care, body image, caregiver stress, codependency, dissociation, domestic violence, obsessions and compulsions, and mood disorders. That range shapes how she spots patterns and breaks them into manageable steps.
People can expect straightforward conversations, practical skills to try between sessions, and regular check-ins on progress. Jessica works in English and accepts international clients, and she asks people to confirm current session formats before booking so arrangements match their needs.
How Jessica uses evidence-based methods online
Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and patterns and to practice small behavior changes. CBT is goal-focused and uses short experiments and skill building to address anxiety, depression, obsessions, and mood-related problems.She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening and working from the person's own goals so sessions stay relevant to what matters most. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides specific skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling relationship challenges.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will work with each person to identify which methods fit their goals and preferences, and she adjusts techniques based on what is most helpful in practice.
The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats here, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or offering options that avoid being on camera. These practical benefits often help people maintain steady progress while managing daily responsibilities.
