About Jessica
Jessica Hankins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress and anxiety. She works with adults and youth to sort through everyday pressures, grief, mood changes, and relationship struggles. Her style is warm and interactive and she lets each person guide the pace of sessions.
Jessica draws on 14 years of experience in mental health. She uses straightforward, practical techniques so people can try small changes that make life easier.
Background and approach
Sessions often focus on habits, thoughts, and simple skills to reduce worry and lift mood. Her approach blends client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral tools and emotionally-focused ideas. That mix helps people understand patterns, test new responses, and improve communication.
She also uses mindfulness and solution-focused methods to build short-term coping skills and forward movement. Jessica’s background includes a Bachelor of Arts in psychology and a Master of Arts with an advanced certificate in school psychology. She is licensed as an LPC in Georgia.
Those experiences inform her work with attention, learning differences, parenting challenges, and behavioral concerns. In sessions she aims to teach concrete strategies people can use right away. Common topics include anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, anger, parenting stress, and life transitions.
Jessica emphasizes collaboration, so the person and therapist shape goals together and adjust plans as needed.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and following the person's lead. Online sessions use that same priority by letting the client set goals and pace while the therapist reflects and clarifies what matters most. This approach helps with anxiety, grief, self-esteem, and decision-making.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical steps to change thoughts and behaviors. In online sessions Jessica might use worksheets, thought records, and behavioral experiments that people can try between meetings to reduce worry and test new habits. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and impulsivity.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy, or EFT, helps people understand and name feelings and improve how they connect with others. Online conversations can focus on identifying emotions and practicing new ways to express needs and set boundaries, which supports relationship and communication goals.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that match their goals, preferences, and day-to-day life. She can mix methods so sessions stay practical and goal-oriented.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video allows face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when a shorter check-in fits a busy day. Live chat and messaging are helpful for brief updates, homework review, or more frequent support between longer sessions. These options make scheduling easier and let people keep progress rolling despite tight calendars.
