About Jessica

Jessica Shook is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 15 years of experience in mental health, much of that time spent supporting people who are experiencing crisis. She specializes in helping clients process trauma and abuse, manage anxiety and depression, cope with grief and loss, and navigate relationship challenges. Jessica works with both individuals and couples, offering grounded, empathetic care that focuses on practical steps forward.

In her practice she often helps clients trace current difficulties back to past events that were survived but not fully processed, then supports them in naming and understanding the patterns that emerge. She combines perspective and compassionate guidance to help clients recognize recurring themes and build strategies for change. Jessica emphasizes collaboration and clarity, helping people identify realistic goals and develop skills to cope with life transitions and stressors.

She is available to meet on Mondays all day and on most Sundays in the afternoon and evening. Prospective clients whose schedules align with these times are welcome to reach out to learn more and explore whether her approach would be a good fit.

Client-Centered and CBT in an Online Setting

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the client’s experiences and goals guide the work. It helps people build self-awareness, strengthen self-worth, and make choices that align with their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, structured approach that explores how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected and teaches concrete skills for managing anxiety, depression, and unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process; Jessica works collaboratively with clients to determine whether Client-Centered methods, CBT, or a blend of techniques best fits their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors sessions to the individual, adjusting pacing and focus in partnership with each person.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to engage, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to schedule care around work, family, or mobility concerns and allow licensed professionals to provide consistent, effective support across a range of life situations.
