About Jessica
Jessica Eddins is a licensed mental health counselor who helps people address anxiety, relationship strain, addiction concerns, and codependency. She is an LMHC and holds an LPC credential, and she practices in Virginia. Jessica focuses on clear, practical steps that people can use right away to feel steadier in daily life.
Her sessions start with listening to what matters most to the person sitting across from her. She uses a client-centered stance and draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing and mindfulness practices are also part of her toolbox when people are working on change or craving more calm.
Jessica has seven years of clinical experience and has worked with a range of concerns including trauma, family problems, substance issues, and challenges around intimacy and self-esteem. She often suggests short exercises between sessions such as journaling, worksheets, or mindfulness practices to keep momentum between meetings.
Her approach is collaborative: she and the client build a plan together that fits their goals and pace. She emphasizes gradually increasing comfort before tackling heavier topics, so people feel more in control as they go.
To begin, Jessica asks people to complete a brief matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions based on available times. Her practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and sessions are offered in English in Virginia.
How Jessica’s approaches fit with online therapy
Jessica uses a client-centered foundation alongside cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, reflection, and building a plan that matches the person’s values and goals. Cognitive-behavioral techniques look at patterns of thought and behavior and try practical experiments to change unhelpful cycles. Mindfulness therapy adds brief exercises to notice breathing, feelings, and bodily cues to reduce reactivity and support everyday coping.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods to try first based on their goals and what feels doable. That might mean starting with listening and goals, then using short CBT exercises and mindfulness tasks between appointments to keep progress moving.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow for quicker check-ins, and support use of emailed worksheets or short between-session practices. Working online also makes it simpler to continue care when schedules or locations change, while still focusing on the same collaborative, skill-based work Jessica uses in person.
