Jessica Harp, LPC - Therapist in South Carolina

About Jessica

Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor with eight years of clinical experience. She practices in South Carolina and brings a practical, problem-solving approach to sessions. Jessica aims to make therapy understandable and useful for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, work stress, or painful relationships.

She uses a mix of evidence-informed methods. Jessica often draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and acceptance and commitment therapy to teach skills for managing emotions, reducing anxiety, and improving everyday functioning.

Background and approach

Sessions focus on concrete tools and steps that clients can try between meetings. Jessica’s background includes roles in clinical operations and program management at multiple treatment programs and an inpatient hospital setting. That experience shaped her interest in building treatment plans that fit each person’s situation rather than using one-size-fits-all techniques.

In a typical session she listens first, then helps identify small, realistic changes. She also offers psychoeducation so clients understand why a strategy might work. The work is collaborative and paced to each client’s comfort level.

Her areas of focus include stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, substance-related concerns, and career transitions. Jessica speaks English and offers sessions through several online formats to fit different schedules and needs.

Therapeutic approaches and how they work online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without fighting them and then commit to actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like worry and low mood. That approach often involves specific exercises you try between sessions. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship difficulties.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then recommend or combine methods to fit those needs. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and feedback guide the plan.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls make it possible to meet face to face from home while phone sessions work when video is not convenient. Live chat and text-based messaging allow shorter check-ins or ongoing support between scheduled sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and work lives and allow different ways to practice the skills discussed in sessions.

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.
