About Jessica
Jessica Edmundson, LPCC, is an Ohio-based therapist who helps people manage anxiety, stress, addiction, and life changes. She approaches sessions with respect and compassion and aims to create a space where clients can speak honestly and work toward practical change. Jessica uses a solutions-focused style that’s built around each person’s needs.
She listens first, then helps set small, clear goals. Sessions often include skills to cope with depression, motivation challenges, and low self-esteem.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in both inpatient and outpatient addiction settings. That experience informs how she supports people facing substance use and co-occurring concerns. She also has long experience helping people process trauma and rebuild confidence.
In the room she blends techniques from acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral ideas, and mindfulness. Conversations may include emotion regulation skills from dialectical behavior approaches and motivational strategies to support change. Jessica is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 12 years of experience.
She balances clinical work with family life in Ohio, and she draws on her own experiences with anxiety and depression when shaping treatment plans. She offers several remote formats to fit different needs and schedules. New clients start by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session.
How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without getting stuck. It focuses on values and small actions that move a person toward a life they care about, which can help with anxiety and motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at unhelpful thinking patterns and teaches practical strategies to change them, often reducing worry and low mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and increase present-moment awareness.Choosing the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as needed based on what works in session.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for fuller conversations and skill practice, while phone calls can be easier when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and messaging are helpful for short check-ins, progress notes, or when someone prefers typed communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep work going between sessions if needed.
