Jessica Erickson, LPC

Jessica Erickson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Missouri with five years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, relationship strain, grief, intimacy issues, anger, and self-esteem struggles. She also supports people coping with compassion fatigue and mood disorders including bipolar conditions.

Her approach is direct and practical. She centers the client's perspective and uses conversational, everyday language in sessions. Jessica mixes Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help people identify patterns, test new responses, and manage strong emotions.

Sessions often include concrete skills work such as thought restructuring, behavior experiments, emotion regulation strategies, and grounding techniques when trauma is present. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing may be used to support change and build steady routines. She pays attention to attachment history, adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, codependency, and caregiver stress when these are part of what someone brings.

Jessica has experience across a wide range of concerns including obsessive-compulsive symptoms, dissociation, domestic violence, divorce and separation, body image, and forgiveness work. She is familiar with comorbid presentations where several issues overlap, and she helps people prioritize steps they can take right away.

People who choose her can expect straightforward conversation, collaborative planning, and practical coping tools. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session to plan goals and next steps.
