About Jessica

Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with eight years of experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the effects of trauma and abuse. She also works with concerns such as relationship strain, parenting stress, addiction, and family of origin issues.

Jessica draws on a mix of practical therapy methods to guide conversations and set small, doable goals. Sessions tend to focus on understanding current patterns, trying out new skills, and tracking what changes help in day-to-day life. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to address thoughts and behaviors that keep problems going.

Her background includes roles in clinical program management and inpatient therapy settings. That experience shaped how she approaches structured care and coordinating treatment steps when clients need clear plans and follow-through. Jessica also brings experience using Dialectical Behavior Therapy and Motivational Interviewing techniques when the situation calls for them.

In sessions she pays attention to how early family roles and expectations still affect choices today. Conversations often look at boundaries, codependency, abandonment concerns, and ways people repeat family patterns. She helps people learn practical skills for coping with life changes and reducing emotional reactivity.

People who contact her are usually seeking straightforward feedback, concrete strategies, and a steady approach to change. To begin, she asks a few questions to match goals to methods and to set a clear plan for the first weeks of work.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and choose actions that align with their values. It is often useful for anxiety, stress, and when old family patterns get in the way of current goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and uses short exercises to test and change unhelpful thinking. It is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.

Finding the right approach is usually a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals and try methods that fit those goals. Together they will monitor what works and adjust the plan over time rather than committing to a single method from the start.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. They also let people use written reflection or worksheets between meetings to practice skills learned in sessions.
