Ibi Jessica Jeremiah, LCSW

Ibi Jessica Jeremiah, LCSW (Licensed Clinical Social Worker), brings a wholehearted, lived-experience approach to therapy that blends clinical training with creative and somatic practices. She identifies as a Black, queer, polyamorous mother and creative, and she intentionally brings that full identity into her therapeutic work. Grounded in values of love and authenticity, she focuses on supporting clients who face heightened risk and systemic challenges, meeting people where they are and honoring the complexity of their lives.

She specializes in supporting creatives, BIPOC individuals, and people navigating anxiety and depression, drawing on both clinical modalities and somatic techniques to help clients find practical, holistic tools for healing. Her practice also includes sound bowl healing as a complementary method, and she offers individual, couples, family, and group therapy formats to address relational and personal concerns. Her additional areas of focus include trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, career coaching, and compassion fatigue, along with blended family dynamics, caregiver stress, multicultural concerns, polyamory and non-monogamous relationships, and perinatal mental health challenges such as postpartum depression.

Her professional background spans maternal and child health, work with homeless youth and families, traumatic brain injury, HIV services, and community mental health, experiences that inform a practical understanding of navigating complex systems. Outside of clinical work, she is a mother who enjoys flag football, creative projects, and cultivating authentic friendships, and she uses those life roles to remain grounded and connected to the people she supports.

Therapeutic approaches tailored for online care

She integrates evidence-based clinical modalities with somatic techniques to offer a grounded, practical approach to healing. Evidence-based clinical modalities refer to talk-based therapies and structured interventions that have research support for treating conditions such as anxiety, depression, and trauma; these approaches help clients learn skills, reframe patterns, and set concrete goals. Somatic techniques involve attention to the body and physical sensations to release stress and process difficult experiences, which can be especially useful for trauma, anxiety, and chronic stress.

In addition to these methods, she blends complementary practices, including sound bowl work, to support relaxation and embodiment when appropriate. Determining the right combination of approaches is part of the therapeutic process; she collaborates with each person to identify what aligns with their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting methods as progress unfolds.

Online therapy with her is offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to fit therapy into daily life, maintain continuity during transitions, and access support from diverse locations while working together with a licensed professional to pursue meaningful change.
