About Jessica
Jessica Philippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience helping people manage anxiety, stress, and life transitions. She combines art-based work with talk therapy to make sessions feel approachable and concrete. Jessica aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk about what feels hard and try practical steps forward.
She originally planned to be an art teacher and later trained in Art Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That background informs how she uses creative techniques alongside evidence-based methods. Sessions often include hands-on exercises, reflection, and skill-building rather than only conversation.
Jessica works with concerns such as eating issues, mood problems, trauma, and coping with change. Panic disorder and panic attacks are among the specific areas she lists, along with social anxiety and obsessive-compulsive concerns. She also supports people struggling with body image, guilt and shame, self-esteem, and relationship communication challenges.
Her style is warm and collaborative. She draws on person-centered ideas, art therapy approaches, dialectical behavior therapy and cognitive behavioral strategies, trauma-aware practices, and solution-focused techniques. These are used to help clients learn tools, regulate strong feelings, and test new ways of handling stress.
Jessica practices in Pennsylvania and provides services in English. People who choose to start work with her fill out a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on her availability. The practice uses a cancelable subscription model for session payments.
How therapy approaches translate into online work
Jessica integrates art-informed methods and cognitive-behavioral approaches into practical work. Art-informed methods use drawing, collage, or simple creative tasks to help people notice feelings and try new responses; these techniques can make hard topics easier to show and talk about. Cognitive-behavioral strategies focus on identifying thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce anxiety and interrupt panic reactions.She also uses dialectical behavior therapy ideas to teach emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills that people can practice between sessions. These approaches are helpful for panic symptoms, social anxiety, intrusive worries, and mood challenges because they emphasize concrete skills and stepwise practice.
Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. The therapist will work with each person to decide which techniques best match their needs, goals, and comfort level. Therapy moves at a pace the client sets, with regular check-ins to adjust methods as progress unfolds.
The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote work helpful because it can fit into a busy day, cut down travel time, allow easier check-ins, and let skills be practiced in everyday settings. The therapist can explain what format she currently offers when arranging the first appointment.
