About Jasmine

Jasmine McKinney is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) based in Alabama who focuses on practical, values-driven therapy. She uses clear tools and steady support to help people handle stress, anxiety, depression, and relationship or family concerns. Her style is straightforward and warm, aimed at helping someone find clearer choices and small next steps.

She draws from approaches like Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice what matters and change unhelpful thoughts and habits.

Background and approach

Jasmine also uses Client-Centered and Solution-Focused methods to keep sessions grounded in the client’s strengths and goals. These methods are used to address issues such as self-esteem, grief, anger, intimacy concerns, and coping with life changes. Her work emphasizes improving communication, working through guilt or shame, and rebuilding self-love and purpose.

She also addresses workplace stress, isolation or loneliness, forgiveness, and mood-related concerns. Jasmine aims to make each session practical so people leave with something to try between meetings. With seven years of professional experience as an LPC, she meets people where they are and helps them move toward what they want.

Sessions are offered in English and take place online through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Jasmine does not take international clients and practices in Alabama.

Evidence-informed approaches for online family and relationship work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice what truly matters to them and take actions that match those values, even when uncomfortable thoughts or feelings are present. It can help with anxiety, low mood, and finding direction during life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and patterns and testing small behavior changes to reduce distress and improve daily functioning. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and stress management. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship where the person’s experiences guide the work and growth happens at the person’s pace.

Finding the right approach is often a team effort. Jasmine will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then use techniques from these approaches in a way that fits their situation. The process is collaborative and focused on practical steps that match the client’s values and daily life.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy schedules and varied needs. Video calls allow face-to-face conversations, phone sessions remove travel needs, and live chat or text-based messaging can provide shorter, in-the-moment check-ins or support between sessions. These options make it easier to attend sessions from home or work and to keep therapy consistent alongside family and life responsibilities.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.
