About Jessica
Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, parenting concerns, relationship and family issues, and related areas such as compassion fatigue and addictions. Jessica draws on several therapy approaches and practical techniques to help people manage difficult moments.
Jessica uses straightforward talk and evidence-informed methods in sessions. She offers psychoeducation and skill-building alongside therapy so people leave with options they can try between meetings. Sessions often involve identifying patterns that cause distress and practicing new ways of responding to them.
Her background includes clinical and program management roles in behavioral health settings and inpatient care. That experience contributes to a familiarity with crisis situations and complex clinical presentations without assuming a single path forward for every person.
In appointments she blends approaches such as cognitive behavioral work, acceptance and commitment ideas, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. Motivational interviewing techniques can be used when making changes feels especially hard. She frames therapy as practical work on specific problems and patterns rather than abstract theory.
People who come for help often want concrete ways to reduce worry, cope with grief or change difficult relationship cycles. Jessica helps adults talk through those issues and learn skills to manage stress, improve mood, and approach family or parenting concerns with clearer thinking.
How sessions work
How Jessica combines evidence-based approaches online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts without getting stuck in them and focus on actions that match their values; it can be useful for anxiety, depression, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets the links between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical skills to reduce worry, change negative thinking, and improve mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers specific skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsivity, and improving interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with each person to try methods that match their goals and preferences, and adjusts the plan as progress and needs become clearer. That means therapy can include talking, skills practice, or short behavioral experiments based on what helps in daily life.

When planning sessions, she will discuss pacing and practical details so therapy fits into everyday life and addresses the concerns that brought someone in.
