About Jessica
Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She supports people dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, depression, compassion fatigue, relationship and family issues, grief, intimacy-related struggles, anger, self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and coping with life changes.
Jessica uses a direct, down-to-earth style in sessions. She treats each person as the expert on their life and listens first. She brings a mix of approaches - client-centered work, cognitive behavioral strategies, dialectical behavior skills, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing - and chooses what fits each person's situation.
Sessions focus on practical skills and clear steps. Jessica helps people notice unhelpful thinking, practice emotion regulation skills, and try small behavior changes. She also works with trauma-related material using approaches intended for that work when appropriate.
Her background includes five years as a counselor working across a broad range of concerns. Jessica has experience with issues linked to adoption and foster care, attachment, caregiver stress, dissociation, divorce, domestic violence, and obsessions and compulsions among other areas.
People meet Jessica to reduce reactivity, manage recurring anger, cope with grief, or handle burnout and compassion fatigue. She uses straightforward techniques, occasional humor, and collaborative problem solving to help people take small, sustainable steps forward.
How sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches work in online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting working relationship. It means the therapist follows the client’s lead, reflects what they say, and helps them make sense of their own thoughts and feelings. This approach is useful for people who want a collaborative, respectful space to talk things through.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions influence each other. It teaches practical techniques to challenge unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors, which can help with anger, anxiety, and mood problems. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, offers concrete skills for managing strong emotions, improving distress tolerance, and handling intense moments with less reactivity.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will help clients pick methods based on their goals, needs, and what feels most useful in early sessions. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Many people find skills practice and behavioral experiments translate well to remote sessions, and a therapist can suggest straightforward ways to use these tools between meetings.
