About Jessica

Jessica Mujica is a licensed clinical mental health counselor (LCMHC) who supports people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, LGBT concerns, trauma and abuse, and parenting challenges. She offers direct, practical guidance and listens without judgment. Her tone is warm and steady, aiming to make the first step feel safer for a worried parent or adult seeking change.

Jessica uses straightforward conversation to identify what matters most to each person. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and on Dialectical Behavior Therapy to teach skills for emotion regulation.

Background and approach

Mindfulness tools help ground people when anxiety or strong feelings arise. Her training includes a bachelor’s degree in Social and Behavioral Science with a minor in Sexuality Studies and a master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling with a focus on addictions. She holds the credential LCMHC and brings four years of professional experience to her work in North Carolina.

Sessions are shaped around a person’s specific situation, whether that involves grief, relationship and intimacy concerns, parenting struggles, or coping with life changes. Jessica pays attention to identity and culture, and she is open to conversations about kink, polyamory, gender dysphoria, and sexuality when these topics matter to the client.

She accepts international clients and offers multiple ways to meet, including video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. The approach is collaborative - goals and plans are created together and adjusted as progress is made.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Care

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, accepting space where the client’s goals guide each session; this approach helps people feel heard and involved in planning next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thought patterns and behaviors, teaching clear strategies to manage anxiety, mood, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical skills for tolerating distress and regulating emotions, which can be useful during parenting stress, addiction recovery, or panic episodes.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica collaborates with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and comfort level. Sessions begin with simple goals and are adjusted as progress is made, so the plan evolves based on what helps most.

Online therapy lets people access these approaches through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. That flexibility makes it easier to fit therapy into busy family schedules, to check in between appointments, or to continue care while traveling. Jessica uses these formats to teach skills, practice strategies in real time, and keep treatment practical and accessible for everyday life.

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.
