About Jessica

Jessica "Jessie" Meyer is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Alabama with ten years of clinical experience. Jessie brings a warm, interactive style to sessions and focuses on practical steps parents and caregivers can use when life feels out of balance. Conversations are respectful and straightforward, without stigmatizing labels.

Jessie helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and the ups and downs of coping with life changes. Addiction and substance use are part of her background, and she has supported people working through grief and trauma.

Background and approach

Her work also addresses concerns related to LGBT identity, bipolar mood symptoms, relationship strain, and family-related matters. Her approach centers on talking with each person to find what helps most. Jessie draws on client-centered methods to build trust and on cognitive behavioral strategies to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors.

Dialectical behavior therapy skills and mindfulness tools are used when people need emotional regulation and grounding techniques. Sessions are practical in tone. Jessie aims to set clear goals and to teach strategies that people can use between meetings.

She adapts the plan to fit each person’s situation and preferences. People who choose Jessie should expect a collaborative, respectful space for honest conversation. She encourages small, manageable steps toward better coping and clearer decision making.

How specific approaches translate to online therapy

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening without judgment and building a trusting relationship. Online sessions let a licensed professional follow your pace, reflect what matters to you, and shape conversations around your priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks down problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change patterns. In virtual work this often means learning exercises during a session and practicing them between meetings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions and improving distress tolerance. Online DBT work typically emphasizes mindfulness, emotion regulation, and coping strategies you can use in real time.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with you about your goals, try different techniques when useful, and adjust plans based on what helps. That means the first sessions focus on understanding your situation and picking practical steps together.

Online sessions via video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging offer flexibility for busy schedules and different comfort levels. Video lets you work face-to-face, phone sessions suit those who prefer voice contact, and chat or text can be helpful for short check-ins or when writing feels easier. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into family routines and daily life, while keeping the focus on learning skills and making steady progress.

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.

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.
