About Jessica
Jessica Hankins is an LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) practicing in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She works with adults on stress, anxiety, depression, grief, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and questions about life purpose. Jessica also helps people facing relationship strain, parenting challenges, and the fallout from trauma or abuse.
She draws on client-centered methods that keep the person's goals central. Sessions use practical tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking and behavior. Emotionally-focused ideas guide work on relationships and how people connect with others.
Jessica often uses mindfulness and solution-focused techniques to build short-term coping skills. That means quiet, focused exercises and specific steps to try between sessions. The emphasis is on things a person can practice and test in everyday life rather than long lectures about psychology.
Her background includes a Master of Arts with an advanced certificate in school psychology from the University at Buffalo, and earlier study in psychology and sociology. She holds the LPC credential and has spent years supporting people in education and clinical settings.
People who feel stuck after a change in work, relationships, or health will find a practical orientation in sessions. The work is collaborative: the client and Jessica choose which strategies to try and adjust them based on what helps. That makes therapy focused on real, manageable next steps rather than vague promises.
How Jessica’s therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-centered work focuses on the person's priorities and pace. In online sessions that means the therapist asks about what matters most and follows the client's lead while offering reflections and practical suggestions. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) targets thinking patterns and behavior. Online CBT sessions commonly include agreed exercises, tracking thoughts or behaviors, and testing small changes between meetings to see what helps.Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative step. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust plans as they learn what works. That collaborative stance makes it easier to move from feeling stuck to testing concrete next steps without committing to a single method upfront.
Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it simpler to fit therapy into a busy life because it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people connect from different locations. Those practical benefits can help keep regular momentum while trying new strategies discussed in CBT, emotionally-focused, or client-centered work.
