About Jessie
Jessie Mclaughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, and depression. She focuses on practical steps people can take to feel more stable and in control. Jessie writes and talks plainly so parents and adults can quickly understand what to expect.
She aims to make the first steps toward change feel manageable. Jessie draws on five years of clinical experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings.
Background and approach
That background includes supporting adults who have faced substance use challenges and mental health concerns. She combines what a person already knows about themselves with new strategies to handle hard moments. Her style is collaborative and down-to-earth.
Sessions often start with what matters most to the person and a few clear goals. Then she uses short exercises and focused conversation to build skills that fit daily life. Common tools Jessie uses include cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thoughts, motivational interviewing to strengthen desire for change, and client-centered methods that follow the person's pace.
She also brings ideas from existential and solution-focused approaches when they fit the situation. People work on things like quitting smoking or vaping, reducing alcohol or drug use, managing anger, and coping with relationship strain. Jessie also supports work on self-esteem, life purpose, and finding practical ways to move forward after trauma or loss.
She encourages steady progress and realistic steps shaped by each person's values.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy starts by following the person's lead and focusing on their values and goals. The therapist listens without judgment and helps the person name what matters most, which works well for building motivation and self-understanding.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses short exercises to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with practical steps that change behavior and mood. This approach is often useful for anxiety, anger, and low mood.
Motivational Interviewing is a focused conversational style that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is helpful when someone feels uncertain about quitting substances, changing habits like smoking, or making other life shifts.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessie will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit each person's needs. She encourages clients to give feedback so the plan can be adjusted over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people connect face-to-face when that helps. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be easier to fit into a busy day. Chat or messaging is useful for brief check-ins, homework, or when someone prefers written conversation. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around work, school, or parenting demands.
