About Ibi

LCSW in Illinois with six years of experience, Ibi Jessica Jeremiah focuses on stress, anxiety, LGBT concerns, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, depression, grief, intimacy-related struggles, career coaching, and compassion fatigue. She identifies as a Black, queer, polyamorous mom and brings those life perspectives into her clinical work. Sessions reflect practical methods and lived experience rather than abstract theory.

Her approach blends evidence-based therapeutic techniques with somatic work and sound bowl healing. She describes her practice as culturally grounded and modern. She works with creatives and people from BIPOC backgrounds and draws on past roles in maternal and child health, homeless youth and family services, traumatic brain injury, HIV care, and community mental health.

She says she uses clinical modalities alongside body-centered practices to address anxiety, depression, and trauma-related symptoms. That can mean talking through stressors, developing coping strategies, and integrating somatic exercises to reduce physical tension. Sound bowl sessions are offered as an adjunctive tool when appropriate.

Her experience includes work in community settings that intersect with social systems and resource navigation. This background informs how she supports people facing complex life circumstances and systemic barriers. She also names postpartum depression, pregnancy and childbirth concerns, sexual assault and abuse, and women’s issues among her additional focus areas.

Sessions are conducted in English, and she accepts international clients. Costs vary with location and use a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session via the online options button.

How her approaches translate to online work

She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques alongside somatic practices and sound bowl work. Evidence-based techniques here refer to structured talk therapies that help identify thinking and behavior patterns and develop practical coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress. Somatic practices focus on body awareness and movement to reduce physiological tension and support trauma recovery. Sound bowl work offers a complementary sensory method that some people find calming and grounding during sessions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the early work. The therapist collaborates with each person to identify goals, try methods, and adjust strategies based on what helps. This means trying talk-based exercises, adding somatic activities, or integrating sound bowl exercises as agreed together.

Confirm the session formats before booking since specific formats were not listed in the biography. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule by reducing travel and allowing shorter check-ins during a break, or by offering options that do not require being on camera. These practical benefits help people keep therapy consistent while matching methods to their day-to-day life.
