Jessica Hankins, LPC

Jessica Hankins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, and relationship concerns like jealousy. She is based in Georgia and works with adults and youth on everyday struggles such as parenting challenges, coping with life changes, and managing mood and attention differences. Jessica writes plainly and focuses on practical steps people can try between sessions.

Her style is warm and interactive. She lets clients set the pace while offering tools they can use right away. Jessica blends person-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral ideas and solution-focused planning so clients leave with concrete steps. She often uses mindfulness and emotionally-focused work to help people calm intense feelings and improve communication.

Jessica draws on 14 years in the mental health field, including school psychology and counseling roles. That background shapes her practical approach to behavior, learning, and family-related concerns. She aims to make sessions feel supportive and goal-oriented rather than overly clinical.

In sessions she teaches strategies for responding differently to upsetting situations. That can mean changing unhelpful thoughts, practicing new ways to talk with others, or setting small, achievable goals. Clients who want clear tools, hands-on practice, and steady guidance tend to find this helpful.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Jessica often uses client-centered therapy, which centers the conversation on the client's concerns and goals and focuses on empathy and listening. That approach helps when someone needs time to talk through parenting stress, jealousy, or grief while being heard and supported.

She also draws on cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches practical skills to change them. CBT is useful for anxiety, mood shifts, ADHD-related routines, and learning new responses to triggers.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to decide which methods fit best for their needs and preferences. This is a collaborative process where goals and techniques are adjusted over time based on what is and isn't working.

For online therapy practical benefits include easier scheduling around work or parenting, shorter check-ins when time is tight, and the ability to attend from a place that reduces travel time. The site’s start process asks a few questions to match clients, but please confirm the current session options before booking so you know what formats are available. Online sessions can make it simpler to use therapy tools between meetings and keep momentum during life transitions.
