Jessica Hankins, LPC - Therapist in Georgia

About Jessica

Jessica Hankins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia who helps people manage stress, anxiety, parenting challenges, and depression. She tends to work with individuals facing ADHD, grief, trauma and abuse, and relationship strain. Her manner is warm and interactive and she focuses on practical steps people can use in everyday life.

Jessica blends straightforward talk with hands-on strategies. Sessions often include tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and shift them.

Background and approach

She uses client-centered methods to follow each person’s pace and priorities. Emotion-focused ideas guide work on attachment and relationship concerns when those issues come up. Her background includes training in school psychology and counseling.

Jessica draws on 14 years in the mental health field to shape short-term coaching and longer therapeutic work. That experience informs how she helps people cope with life changes and recurring patterns. In a session she listens for practical problems first, then tests small changes together.

This can mean building coping plans, practicing new communication steps, or using mindfulness to calm intense moments. The aim is useful skills people can try between meetings. Jessica offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging as ways to connect.

Sessions use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and scheduling is arranged after a brief matching questionnaire.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on each person’s goals and pace, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows what matters most to the client and helps them set practical steps. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) teaches ways to notice and change thoughts and behaviors that make stress, anxiety, or mood problems worse, which can be practiced during and between sessions. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people tune into emotions and improve how they relate to others, useful for attachment and relationship concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica treats this as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s needs, goals, and preferences. She mixes approaches as needed and checks in regularly to see what is or isn’t working.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, try techniques in real time, and keep momentum between meetings. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and tools to each format so people can make steady progress from wherever they are.

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.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT)

Attends to the emotions underneath a recurring argument or distance, and to the attachment needs driving them. Often used where a relationship keeps returning to the same painful loop.
