About Jessica
Jessica Philippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience. She focuses on anxiety, stress, eating concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for people who feel overwhelmed or stuck.
Jessica moved from an initial interest in art education into counseling. She studied Art Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling and now blends creative methods with talk therapy.
Background and approach
Sessions often include simple creative exercises alongside conversation to help people name feelings and try small changes. Her style is warm and collaborative. She uses approaches grounded in evidence and mixes them to fit each person’s needs.
That can mean learning new coping skills, trying behavioral experiments, or practicing ways to manage panic and obsessive thoughts. Jessica has worked with concerns such as body image, guilt and shame, impulsivity, mood disorders, panic attacks, post-traumatic stress, and social anxiety. She also supports people dealing with self-love, sexuality questions, communication problems, and young adult issues.
Her focus is on practical tools people can use between sessions. Clients can expect a steady, non-judgmental presence and clear steps to address problems. Jessica treats therapy as a partnership and helps people set realistic goals.
She works remotely with adults in Pennsylvania and conducts sessions in English.
Evidence-informed approaches for anxiety and change
Jessica often uses cognitive-behavioral strategies to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new ways of thinking or acting. CBT-style work can be useful for panic, social anxiety, obsessive thoughts, and mood shifts. She also draws from dialectical ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful during intense moments or when emotions feel overwhelming.She integrates creative, art-based techniques alongside these skills. Simple art activities can make difficult feelings easier to name and can offer new ways to practice coping outside of talk alone. The therapist treats choosing an approach as a collaborative process and will adjust methods based on a person's goals and what seems to help in real sessions.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to fit different needs. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can work well when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text messaging provide shorter check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities and to try methods in everyday life.
