About Jessica

Jessica Chester is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, anger, low self-esteem, and depression. She keeps sessions straightforward and focused on practical steps. Conversations center on what is most pressing and what can change now.

Her style blends skill-building and problem-solving. She uses tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy alongside mindfulness and solution-focused techniques. Sessions often involve learning new coping skills, practicing communication strategies, and trying small experiments between meetings.

Background and approach

Jessica draws on 15 years of experience to tailor plans to each person. She listens for patterns that get in the way and offers clear, usable strategies for daily life. The work balances short-term goals with longer-term shifts in thinking and behavior.

Common topics she addresses include workplace stress, relationship and communication problems, panic and social anxiety, and struggles with guilt, shame, or impulsivity. She also supports people facing separation or family conflicts and those working on self-love and emotional regulation. Therapy with Jessica is collaborative and pragmatic.

Clients can expect straightforward feedback, homework that fits their life, and steady support while learning new ways to cope and relate.

Approaches and how online therapy fits

Jessica often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and actions and teaches practical ways to shift unhelpful thinking and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and workplace stress. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) focuses on skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful for anger, impulsivity, and intense emotional reactions. Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and try methods that seem likely to help. Over time, the plan can be adjusted based on what is working and what feels manageable. Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life. Video calls let conversations feel more like in-person meetings, while phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for flexible check-ins and ongoing support. These options aim to make it simpler to practice skills, follow through on homework, and keep steady progress without extra travel or scheduling strain.

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.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)

Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
