About Jessica
Jessica Hankins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia with 14 years of experience. She focuses on practical ways to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, parenting challenges, and relationship concerns. She speaks plainly and offers straightforward guidance aimed at improving day-to-day coping.
Her sessions are interactive and client-led. Jessica uses a warm, supportive style to help people set small goals and try new responses to difficult situations.
Background and approach
She emphasizes skills that can be used right away, like managing strong emotions and improving communication. Jessica blends several familiar approaches to shape her work. She draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals central.
She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors. She also weaves in solution-focused and mindfulness ideas to build practical steps and calm attention. She has a background in school psychology and counseling, which informs her interest in learning differences, behavior, and development across the lifespan.
That background supports her work with attention differences and related challenges. In a typical session Jessica helps people clarify what matters, try small experiments, and practice new ways of responding. She aims to leave people with tools they can use between sessions.
The process is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-centered work focuses on the person’s goals and values and keeps sessions paced by the client. It helps when someone wants a supportive space to sort priorities and decide next steps. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and offers concrete exercises to test new ways of thinking. It is useful for anxiety, mood concerns, and unhelpful behavior patterns. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps identify and shift emotional patterns that affect relationships and personal wellbeing, offering steps to notice feelings and respond differently.Deciding which approach to use is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust methods over time. That collaborative process helps find what fits best for symptoms, lifestyle, and preferences rather than committing to one method upfront.
Online therapy offers flexible options to make regular work possible. Video calls let people use body language and visual cues during deeper conversations. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or require less bandwidth. Live chat and text messaging support quick check-ins, homework help, or ongoing coaching between sessions. These formats make it easier to keep therapy consistent and adapt sessions to daily life.
