Jessica Yetto , LPC

Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience and a Master of Arts in Counseling earned in 2004. She has spent the past seven years working inside a jail setting, where her daily work centers on assessing and supporting people with significant mental health diagnoses. In that role she conducts intakes, evaluates suicide ideation, provides crisis intervention, and offers targeted counseling when staff encounter completed suicides. She also collaborates with correctional officers and with medical providers such as a CRNP and physician assistant to address medication and physical health concerns.

Before her current position, Jessica worked in a transitional housing program serving individuals with serious mental health needs and held roles as a mobile therapist, behavioral specialist consultant, and supervisor of a family support program. The demands of correctional work have led her to rely primarily on solution-focused therapy, emphasizing practical coping skills and goal-oriented strategies that fit constrained environments. She regularly supports people experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance concerns, and other complex presentations, and she applies brief, skills-based approaches to help clients manage immediate challenges.

Jessica is interested in expanding her practice beyond the jail setting to work with a broader and more diverse population, bringing her experience with crisis assessment, behavioral consultation, and evidence-informed coping strategies to new clients.
