Jessie Mclaughlin, LPC

Jessie Mclaughlin helps people navigate anxiety, depression, addiction, and the everyday stressors that can make life feel overwhelming. She approaches treatment with a focus on building emotional resilience and self-empowerment so clients can move toward a more intentional, authentic life. Her clinical experience spans inpatient and outpatient programs working with adults and children who face mild to severe mental health and substance use disorders, which informs a flexible and practical approach to care.

She holds a Master’s Degree in Clinical Psychology, earned in 2017, and is credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Colorado and Missouri as well as a Licensed Addictions Counselor (LAC) in Colorado - credentials that reflect specialized training in mental health and substance use treatment. Jessie integrates each person’s life story, relationships, and cultural background into therapy, drawing primarily from person-centered and solution-focused frameworks and employing techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy, existential therapy, and motivational interviewing as appropriate.

Her goal is to help clients increase self-understanding, develop coping skills, and cultivate greater confidence and contentment. Jessie offers non-judgmental, collaborative support to help people set meaningful goals and take practical steps toward healthier patterns and improved well-being.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessie primarily uses client-centered therapy, which emphasizes understanding each person’s experience from their own perspective and building a supportive therapeutic relationship that fosters growth and self-acceptance. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another key approach she employs - it focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and developing practical skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on solution-focused therapy to help clients set clear, achievable goals and identify strengths and resources they can use to create change.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessie collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, and she adapts techniques over time as the client progresses. This collaborative process helps tailor therapy to what will be most useful for the individual.

Online therapy makes these approaches accessible through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for people with busy schedules, caregiving responsibilities, or limited local options. Working remotely can support consistent follow-through on treatment and allows licensed professionals to meet clients where they are, making therapy more convenient and easier to maintain.
