About Jessica

Jessica Helms is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) practicing in Arkansas. She uses evidence-based techniques to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. Jessica focuses on clear, practical steps so conversations feel useful from the start.

She works with concerns that include relationships, parenting, anger, and attention issues such as ADHD. Jessica also addresses deeper experiences like abandonment, attachment wounds, guilt and shame, and post-traumatic stress. Her approach emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and compassion in every session.

Background and approach

Jessica tailors sessions to each person’s needs. She talks through challenges and helps set realistic, small goals. Sessions can include problem-solving, emotional processing, and building day-to-day coping skills.

With four years of professional experience, Jessica draws on methods shown to help mood and anxiety problems as well as trauma-related struggles. She adapts her style so the work fits the person, not the other way around. People often begin by describing the most pressing problem.

From there she helps map out a short-term plan and next steps. Jessica encourages honest conversation and steady progress toward feeling more capable and balanced.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Jessica uses well-supported therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach involves skills-based work to manage anxiety and panic, teaching step-by-step strategies for breathing, grounding, and reducing avoidance so everyday worries feel more manageable. Another approach centers on trauma-informed methods to help people process painful memories and reduce their emotional impact, using careful pacing and grounding tools to make the work tolerable.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with clients to identify what fits their needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts methods as progress is made. The plan evolves through regular check-ins so therapy stays relevant and useful.

Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more accessible. These options let people meet from home, fit sessions around work or parenting duties, and keep momentum between meetings. The variety of formats helps clients pick what feels most workable for their schedule and communication style.
