Jessica Erickson , LPC

Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She has worked with clients across the lifespan - from children as young as four to adults in their 70s - addressing concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, personality disorders, and histories of trauma. Jessica blends warm empathy with occasional appropriate humor to create a supportive space where clients are treated as experts in their own lives.

Her clinical approach combines cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and client-centered therapy, and she adapts sessions and treatment plans to each individual’s needs. Jessica emphasizes practical skills and insight-building while honoring each person’s values and goals. She focuses on helping clients manage stress, navigate relationship and family challenges, cope with grief and life changes, and address issues including self-esteem, compassion fatigue, and attachment-related concerns.

Jessica welcomes clients seeking a collaborative, understanding therapist who aims to meet people where they are and support meaningful progress over time.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica Erickson integrates client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) into her online practice. Client-centered therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship so clients can explore their own goals and values. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify and change unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which is often useful for anxiety, depression, and mood concerns. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches practical skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving interpersonal effectiveness, which can help with intense emotions and relationship challenges.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica works collaboratively with each person to determine what fits best based on needs, goals, and personal preferences. She tailors techniques and treatment plans so therapy feels relevant and doable for each client.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, allowing people to access care from home or while traveling. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy lives and to receive consistent support, while still working with licensed professionals who bring structured approaches and practical tools to their work.
