About Jessica
Jessica Edmundson is an Ohio licensed professional clinical counselor (LPCC) with 12 years of experience.

Background and approach
Jessica also supports people working through trauma, grief, relationship stress, parenting strain, and career concerns. Jessica blends structured tools with a warm, client-centered approach. That means she listens first, then helps set realistic goals and practices you can try between sessions.
She often draws on cognitive behavioral strategies and mindfulness to help people notice patterns and try different responses. Her background includes both inpatient and outpatient addiction work, plus long-term counseling experience with mood and anxiety struggles. Over a dozen years she has worked with clients on co-occurring issues such as chronic pain, caregiver stress, ADHD, and codependency.
Jessica adjusts plans as needs change and focuses on clear, doable steps. Outside of work she is a wife and mother who enjoys being outdoors with family and dogs. She understands how life disruptions can affect mental health and helps people find ways to move forward.
Taking a first step can feel hard, and she aims to make that step easier for you.

Flexible approaches you can use online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small committed steps in that direction. It is useful when someone wants to reduce avoidance and live by their values despite difficult emotions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical behavior changes to reduce anxiety, depression, and anger. It often includes homework and real-world practice. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice thoughts and feelings without getting swept up in them, which can help with stress, impulsive reactions, and rumination.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to your goals and try methods that match your needs, then adapt techniques as you progress. You and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep, modify, or drop based on what works for you.
Online therapy with this practice is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different situations. Video sessions let you have a fuller conversation and practice skills together. Phone sessions can be a good option when bandwidth is limited or when you prefer not to use video. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, quick coaching, and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to get consistent help around work, family, and daily life.
