Jessica Harp, LPC

Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate stress, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and addictions. Her work also covers grief, parenting challenges, career concerns, mood disorders, and compassion fatigue.

Before working in private practice settings, she held clinical roles in program and operations management. Those roles included managerial and inpatient therapist positions that involved planning and overseeing treatment programs. This background informs how she organizes care and supports clients through structured plans.

In sessions she uses clear, practical methods drawn from several evidence-based approaches. Jessica draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to identify patterns of thinking. She uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help clients clarify values and commit to meaningful actions.

Motivational interviewing is part of her toolbox for people working through change and addictions. Dialectical behavior strategies appear when people need skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Her approach aims to be straightforward and goal-focused. She helps people set realistic steps, learn coping skills, and track progress. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before booking to ensure the format fits their needs.

How specific approaches guide online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, and making lasting behavior changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behaviors that keep problems going, which often helps with anxiety and mood symptoms. Motivational Interviewing is a short-term conversational approach that strengthens a person’s motivation to change, commonly used when addressing addictions or ambivalence about change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort. That means trying a skill-based technique one week and a values-focused exercise the next, then checking what feels most helpful and adjusting the plan together.

Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and the ability to fit sessions into a busy week. Online care can reduce travel time and make it simpler to keep regular appointments. Because session formats are not listed in the biography, confirm available options before booking so you know whether video, phone, or another format is offered. The focus is on finding a workable rhythm that lets people practice new skills between meetings and make steady progress.
