About Jessica
Jessica Edmundson is an Ohio-licensed professional counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of clinical experience. She helps people dealing with addiction, trauma, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and life changes. She aims to create a respectful, compassionate space where people can talk honestly and find practical ways forward.
Her approach is collaborative and tailored to each person. She uses solution-focused conversations to set clear, achievable goals. Jessica adapts the pace and strategies to match what each person needs and wants to work on.
She draws on a mix of evidence-based methods like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to build coping skills. She also uses acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify values and take steps that matter to them. Dialectical behavior strategies can be included for emotion regulation and distress tolerance when they fit the situation.
Jessica brings experience from both inpatient and outpatient settings, especially supporting people with substance use concerns and trauma histories. She also helps with relationship stress, parenting strain, grief, body image, ADHD, career questions, and caregiver fatigue. Her goal is to help people gain motivation, confidence, and practical tools for daily life.
Outside of work she is a wife, a mother, and a dog owner who enjoys being outdoors and drinking coffee on quiet mornings. She says starting therapy takes courage, and she aims to make that first step easier by meeting people with empathy and steady support.
How her approaches translate to online work
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values while accepting difficult feelings. It is useful for motivation, depression, anxiety, and making life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with practical experiments to change mood and behavior; it often helps with anxiety, depression, and coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to reduce reactivity and improve focus, which can support stress, emotion regulation, and cravings.Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will work with the client to try methods that fit their goals and preferences, and adjust the plan based on what helps. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skills practice, values work, or emotional regulation strategies.
If you are considering online sessions, please confirm the available formats before booking since specific session types are not listed in the profile. Online options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use mindfulness exercises and behavioral tasks in real time in their everyday environment. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and mindfulness exercises to an online setting so work done between sessions becomes part of everyday life.
