About Jessica

Jessica Easterling, LPC brings 19 years of counseling experience to parents and families in Louisiana. She approaches therapy with warmth and clear, practical steps. She listens first, then helps people identify achievable next steps for parenting, relationships, or coping with major life changes.

Sessions focus on what matters most to each family and move at a pace the client sets. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to keep sessions focused on the person's needs and perspective.

Background and approach

That means the client’s goals guide each conversation and Jessica follows their lead while offering steady support. She also draws on Solution-Focused Therapy to set short-term goals and try small changes that can make daily life easier. Her work covers common family concerns such as parenting challenges, blended family issues, divorce and separation, and communication problems.

She also addresses grief, caregiver stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and money-related stress that affects family life. Practical problem-solving and clearer communication are frequent aims in her sessions. Jessica has spent many years helping adults and children with behavior, social skills, self-esteem, and relationship strain.

Her approach is simple: listen carefully, name useful next steps, and try solutions that fit the family’s routine. Parents looking for straightforward support often find this mix helpful. She practices in Louisiana and provides services in English.

For parents who prefer online or phone work, she offers a range of remote session formats and flexible scheduling.

How Jessica Puts Client-Centered and Solution-Focused Work Online

Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the client’s goals and lived experience. In practice this means the therapist listens closely, reflects what she hears, and follows the family’s priorities while offering steady support. This approach helps when parents need space to name what matters most and decide the pace of change.

Solution-Focused Therapy targets specific, short-term goals. Sessions focus on practical steps and what can change in daily routines. This method often suits parents who want to try small, concrete experiments that may quickly ease stress or improve interaction patterns.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the family’s needs. She often mixes client-centered listening with solution-focused steps so therapy stays both respectful and action-oriented.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy parents. These options make it easier to fit sessions around childcare, school, and work. The variety of formats also allows people to pick how they communicate best, whether through live conversation or shorter written check-ins.

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.

Solution-Focused Therapy

Rather than examining the problem at length, this looks at what is already working and builds on it. Sessions tend to be practical and forward-looking, with small achievable steps, which translates readily to shorter online conversations.
