About Jessica
Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience based in South Carolina. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction concerns, trauma and abuse, and relationship struggles. Jessica also supports those dealing with parenting strain, career stress, compassion fatigue, and issues connected to codependency and abandonment.
She uses a mix of evidence-informed approaches in sessions. Jessica blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) elements when helpful. She also incorporates client-centered listening and motivational interviewing to help people clarify values and make steady changes.
In practice she focuses on concrete skills and clearer thinking. Sessions include identifying unhelpful patterns, practicing new ways to respond, and developing plans for everyday situations. People often work on boundary setting, managing difficult emotions, reducing avoidance, and building routines that support mental health.
Jessica has held clinical program roles in several treatment settings, including inpatient and program management positions. That background informs how she structures care, coordinates with other services, and supports recovery efforts when people need that level of planning.
To start, she asks about immediate concerns and current stressors. From there she and the person map short-term goals and practical steps. This approach aims to make therapy feel useful from the first few sessions.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches and working online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions that align with those values while learning to live with difficult feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going and teaches practical skills to change them. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers concrete tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving how someone relates to others.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current struggles, goals, and preferences, then suggest methods to try. Together they check how the work is going and adjust methods or goals as needed so sessions stay focused and useful.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are offered, so confirm available options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. They also let people practice skills in real-world settings between sessions and bring immediate situations into the work without waiting for the next appointment.
