About Jessica
Jessica Harp is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with eight years of clinical experience based in South Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, bipolar disorder, grief, and workplace or caregiving strain. Her practice also covers relationship and family concerns, parenting stress, and issues related to addiction and compassion fatigue.
Before moving into independent practice she held clinical roles in program management and inpatient care. Those roles included manager of clinical operations at All Points North Lodge, clinical program manager at Rock Springs Help for Heroes, clinical program manager at Highland Springs, and inpatient clinical therapist at Cleveland Clinic. This background shaped how she organizes care and coordinates treatment plans.
Her approach is practical and structured. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), client-centered methods, and motivational interviewing. Sessions typically focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and habits, testing new responses, and building specific coping skills.
Jessica pays attention to patterns like abandonment, codependency, impulsivity, and isolation. She also addresses first responder and veteran-related concerns, personality-related difficulties, post-traumatic stress, and self-harm risk in straightforward terms. The work tends to include skills practice, brief experiments, and clear behavioral plans.
People who prefer concrete strategies and step-by-step changes often fit her style. To begin, she asks about current struggles and goals, then outlines practical steps for the next few sessions.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on spotting patterns of thought and behavior, then testing small changes to reduce anxiety or mood symptoms. ACT emphasizes noticing what matters to the client and taking specific actions that align with those values while accepting difficult feelings.She also integrates client-centered techniques to keep sessions focused on the person in front of her, and uses DBT strategies when emotional regulation or distress tolerance skills are needed. Each method brings concrete exercises: behavioral experiments from CBT, values exercises from ACT, and skill drills from DBT. These are practical tools meant to be practiced between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. She will work with clients to identify goals, try methods that fit their situation, and adjust the plan over time based on what helps. The aim is clear: find manageable steps the client can use in day-to-day life.
The original biography does not specify which online session formats she offers, so please confirm current session options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use audio-only sessions when bandwidth or camera use is a concern.
