Jessica Edmundson

Jessica Edmundson is an Ohio-based licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She aims to help people who are dealing with addiction, trauma, mood struggles, anxiety, and stress. Her manner is respectful and compassionate, and she focuses on practical steps that can improve day-to-day life.

Jessica offers a solutions-focused style that is tailored to each person. Sessions center on building coping skills, increasing motivation, and growing self-esteem. She emphasizes clear, collaborative planning so clients leave with usable strategies for depression, anxiety, and difficult life changes.

Trauma-Focused Therapy is one of the approaches she uses to help people process past hurt and reduce its impact on current life. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to address unhelpful thinking and build values-based action. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used when people need tools for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.

Outside of work Jessica is a wife and mother who enjoys time outdoors with her family and dogs. Her personal experience with anxiety and depression influenced her decision to become a therapist and shaped her practical, down-to-earth style. She understands the courage it takes to begin therapy and aims to meet clients with empathy and patience.

To begin, Jessica asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to her availability. She structures treatment around individual needs and tries to offer evening appointments when required.

Approaches that translate well to online work

Trauma-Focused Therapy helps people process and reduce the hold of past traumatic events by breaking down harmful patterns and introducing coping skills. It can be useful for people who notice intrusive memories, avoidance, or strong emotional reactions tied to past experiences.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on identifying personal values and taking small, committed steps toward them while learning to live with difficult thoughts and feelings. It often helps with anxiety, depression, and motivation problems by clarifying what matters and building consistent action.

Client-Centered Therapy places emphasis on a respectful, empathic relationship where the therapist follows the client's lead and supports their self-directed growth. This approach is helpful for people who need a nonjudgmental space to sort through life challenges.

Deciding on an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped in the past. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan as needed to find a good fit.

Confirm the session formats available before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a brief session is useful. It can also offer options for people who need flexibility in scheduling and want to continue work between in-person visits or during life transitions.
