Jessica Mangan, LPC

Jessica Mangan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults on problems such as stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, parenting strain, anger, and challenges around self-esteem and life purpose.

Jessica trained at Western Michigan University, earning a master’s in Counseling Psychology in 2005. Her background includes work in crisis units, community mental health centers, and correctional settings. She has also held leadership roles and provided staff training in clinical environments.

In sessions she keeps things direct and practical. She helps people gain insight, build concrete skills, and develop tools they can try right away. Sessions involve honest conversation about patterns, small experiments to test new behaviors, and step-by-step strategies to reduce reactivity and manage daily stressors.

Her approach draws on evidence-based methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness practices, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused techniques. Jessica mixes skill teaching with short educational pieces so clients understand why a strategy might help.

People who want clearer thinking under pressure or less frequent snapping at loved ones will find a focus on skills and action plans. She aims to guide clients toward better coping, improved communication, and steadier responses when anger or frustration arise.
