About Jessica
Jessica Edmundson is a licensed professional clinical counselor with 12 years of experience based in Ohio. She offers a direct, respectful approach and focuses on helping people face issues like anxiety, depression, addiction, grief, and low self-esteem. Jessica aims to create a calm, nonjudgmental space where clients can talk through problems and build practical skills.
She draws on a mix of approaches and tailors conversations to each person’s goals. Sessions emphasize clear steps for coping with stress, handling life changes, and managing emotional ups and downs.
Background and approach
Jessica also supports people working through relationship struggles, parenting stress, body image concerns, and work-related challenges. Her practice includes work with trauma and abuse survivors and people navigating mood and attention differences such as bipolar disorder and ADHD. She uses motivational techniques to boost commitment to change and teaches concrete tools to reduce impulsive or harmful behaviors.
Jessica also helps address burnout and compassion fatigue for caregivers and professionals. Jessica blends Narrative therapy ideas with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and client-centered listening to shape each plan. That means she will help clients reframe unhelpful stories about themselves, identify values that matter, and practice small behavior changes that fit daily life.
Outside of work she is a wife and mother who enjoys walking, camping, and quiet mornings with coffee. She understands how life can detour from plans and aims to meet clients where they are, adapting scheduling when possible to make therapy fit real life.

How her approaches translate to online therapy
Jessica often blends Narrative therapy with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy depending on a person's needs. Narrative therapy focuses on the stories people tell about themselves and helps separate a person from a problem so new possibilities can emerge. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) teaches how to notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck and to act in line with personal values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets specific thinking and behavior patterns and replaces unhelpful habits with practical alternatives.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She will discuss goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what helps most. That collaborative process makes it easier to pick techniques that fit daily routines and long-term aims.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility. Video calls suit deeper conversations and visual cues, while phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and messaging allow short check-ins, written reflections, or coaching-style support between longer sessions. These options help fit therapy into busy lives and make it easier to keep momentum between appointments.
