About Jessica
Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, caregiver strain, and codependency-related patterns. She also addresses mood concerns such as bipolar disorder, obsessive-compulsive issues, and problems tied to abandonment or attachment.
Her approach is practical and conversational. Sessions center on what a person wants to change and on building skills that make daily life more manageable. She uses client-centered listening alongside cognitive behavioral methods to look at thoughts and behaviors, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy for emotional regulation.
Jessica mixes problem-solving with moments of direct feedback and occasional humor when it fits. She encourages people to name what they value and then tries small, realistic steps that reflect those values. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing ideas may appear when they help a client notice patterns or strengthen motivation.
Her background includes work with a wide age range and with people who have complex trauma histories, caregiver stress, and adoption or foster care issues. She aims to help clients who struggle with people-pleasing, weak boundaries, or losing themselves in caregiving roles to recognize patterns and try concrete changes.
Sessions are focused on practical skills, clearer thinking, and steady progress rather than quick fixes. Jessica invites people to bring real-life problems and to try tools between appointments to see what helps.
How sessions work
How Jessica Uses Talk Therapy Methods Online
Jessica draws on client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and helping a person identify their own goals and values. It supports people who feel overwhelmed by others' needs to clarify what matters to them.CBT looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches straightforward tools to test unhelpful thoughts and to change small behaviors that get in the way of daily life. DBT offers skills for managing strong emotions and reducing reactive patterns, useful for people who struggle with intense mood swings or chronic shame.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. She works collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That may mean trying CBT tools one week and DBT skills the next while keeping the client's priorities at the center.
