Jessica Harp

Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and major life changes. She offers direct, practical support for everyday struggles and aims to help clients move toward a more manageable routine.

Before working in private practice, she held several clinical roles including inpatient clinical therapist at a major health system and clinical program manager positions at behavioral health programs. Those roles gave her experience with program development and coordinating care across teams.

Her approach combines practical skills with reflective conversation. Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy strategies to teach coping skills. She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and motivational techniques to help people find personal values and take small steps forward.

Sessions typically focus on immediate concerns like panic, low mood, or life transitions. Jessica helps people build routines, improve problem solving, and practice emotion regulation skills. She also works with issues such as grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and relationship strain.

Clients can expect a straightforward style that balances skill teaching and supportive listening. She brings experience from clinical operations and program management into session structure and planning. To start, people are invited to use the site's Start Therapy process to match and schedule a first appointment.

Therapeutic approaches and online support

Jessica frequently uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) in her work. ACT focuses on clarifying personal values and taking committed steps toward them, which can help when life feels uncertain. CBT looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical techniques to reduce anxiety and depression.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT teaches concrete tools for managing intense emotions and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can be useful after loss or during major transitions.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist works collaboratively to identify which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That may mean practicing skills in session, testing strategies between visits, and adjusting emphasis over time.

Confirm the available session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people use verbal coaching and exercises without changing their routine. Licensed professionals can tailor techniques so sessions feel practical and relevant to everyday life.
