About Jessica
Jessica Cleary is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Mississippi who offers warm, down-to-earth support for people facing stress, anxiety, and life changes. She describes her style as interactive and laid back, while also providing structure when needed. Jessica emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in sessions and aims to guide people toward a better quality of life.
She holds a Master of Science in Mental Health Counseling and has nine years of clinical experience, much of it in community mental health settings. That work included supporting people who have experienced traumatic events and various forms of abuse. Her caseload has covered a wide range of concerns, such as depression, ADHD, parenting challenges, relationship strain, and postpartum issues.
Jessica uses a flexible approach that centers the person in front of her. She pulls from Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Emotionally-Focused Therapy, and EMDR to match treatment to each person's needs. Sessions tend to focus on practical skills, making changes that fit daily life, and reducing symptoms like panic attacks when they arise.
She has experience helping college-aged adults and people going through transitions like career shifts, divorce, or relocation. She also supports new parents with postpartum depression and those coping with infertility distress. Jessica frames therapy as a team effort and invites clients to set goals together.
If someone is ready to try counseling, she offers a supportive, nonjudgmental space to start working toward clearer coping strategies and more stable functioning.
How therapeutic approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on treating the person with empathy and respect, helping them feel heard while they identify what they want to change. It suits people who need a steady, validating presence while they sort through feelings and decisions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT is often used for anxiety, panic symptoms, and mood concerns because it emphasizes tools you can use between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) emphasizes building coping skills for intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness. It can help people manage anger, distress, and relationship challenges through concrete strategies and skills practice.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That plan can change over time as needs shift and progress is made.
