About Jessie

Jessie Mclaughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who focuses on family and parenting concerns alongside stress, anxiety, depression, and addiction. She offers steady, practical support for people feeling overwhelmed by life changes, anger, low self-esteem, or relationship and career strain. Jessie aims to help clients build resilience and move toward a life that feels more purposeful and manageable.

Her style is warm and down-to-earth. Sessions are conversational and goal-focused.

Background and approach

She listens first, then helps people identify small, doable steps to feel better. Jessie mixes different methods so therapy fits each person's needs rather than forcing a single approach. Jessie trained in clinical psychology and finished a master’s degree in 2017.

She has five years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient settings. That background includes helping adults and children with mental health and substance use concerns. In practice she blends person-centered listening with solution-focused planning.

She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing when they suit a client's goals. Jessie believes therapy works best when it reflects each person's values and life context. Her work addresses a wide range of issues, including trauma and abuse, bipolar concerns, addictions, personality-related difficulties, and women's issues.

Jessie speaks English and is licensed to practice as an LPC in Colorado, with experience that informs how she supports parents and caregivers dealing with family stress.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy puts the client's perspective and values at the center of sessions. Jessie uses this approach to build trust and to tailor conversations so they reflect each person's goals and life context. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing practical skills to change feelings and behavior; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessie will talk with clients about their needs, goals, and preferences and suggest methods that fit. This is a collaborative process and adjustments are made as progress and priorities change.

Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls let people meet face-to-face from home, while phone sessions remove the need for video. Live chat and text-based messaging support shorter check-ins, homework questions, and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy family and parenting schedules and to access consistent care from a licensed professional.

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.

Existential Therapy

Takes the larger questions seriously: meaning, choice, mortality, responsibility. Suited to periods when the difficulty is less a symptom than a sense that something has to change.
