About Jessica

Dr. Jessica Hughes is a Missouri-licensed LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) with eight years of professional experience helping adults cope with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low motivation, self-esteem concerns, and depression. She centers her work on building an accepting space where people can speak openly about difficult feelings and thoughts without fear of judgment. Dr. Hughes believes the decision to seek therapy is an act of courage, and she offers steady support as clients take steps toward a more fulfilling and balanced life.

Her approach emphasizes collaboration and practical problem solving, helping clients identify patterns that contribute to distress and develop skills to manage day-to-day challenges. Whether someone is working through the aftermath of trauma, trying to rebuild confidence, or managing persistent anxiety, Dr. Hughes aims to create a therapeutic relationship that feels respectful, clear, and focused on each personâs goals. She tailors each session to the individual, meeting people where they are and supporting gradual, meaningful change.

Therapeutic Approaches for Online Care

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) supports people in clarifying what matters most to them and learning to act in ways that reflect those values even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings arise - it can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical strategies to change behaviors and mood, often used for anxiety and depression. Client-Centered Therapy places the person at the center of the work, emphasizing empathy, unconditional positive regard, and collaboration to strengthen self-understanding and personal growth.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Dr. Hughes works collaboratively with each person to choose and adapt methods based on individual needs, goals, and preferences so that therapy feels relevant and manageable.

Online sessions make it possible to meet by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or those who prefer remote care. These formats allow licensed professionals to provide consistent support and teach practical skills that transfer into daily life, making therapy more accessible and easier to maintain over time.
