Jessica Erickson, LPC

Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She has worked with people across a broad age range - from children as young as four to adults in their seventies - and has supported clients facing anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, personality disorders, and histories of trauma. Jessica brings a warm, empathetic presence to sessions and values using appropriate humor to help put clients at ease. She centers each person as the expert in their own life and tailors treatment plans to meet individual needs, drawing on cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and person-centered approaches. Jessica aims to collaborate with clients to build practical coping strategies and to support their progress with understanding and respect, and she looks forward to meeting those seeking compassionate, individualized care.

Integrating therapeutic approaches with online care

Jessica Erickson uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive environment where the client’s perspective guides the work. This approach focuses on empathic listening, respect for each person’s experience, and collaborating on goals that matter to the individual.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - CBT - which helps identify and adjust unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression, and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy - DBT - which emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness for people managing intense emotions or relationship challenges.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with clients to explore which methods align with their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts treatment as progress and circumstances evolve.

Online therapy offers practical flexibility for those seeking care. Jessica provides video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate varying schedules, comfort levels, and communication styles. These remote options can make it easier to maintain continuity of care, fit sessions into a busy life, and access support from different locations while working with a licensed professional.
