About Jessica
Licensed independent social worker with clinical practice (LISW-CP) in South Carolina and eight years of professional experience. Jessica Gum helps people manage stress and anxiety, navigate LGBTQ+ concerns, process trauma and abuse, and cope with grief and loss. She frames clients as the experts on their own stories and builds on existing strengths to address current challenges.
Jessica asks straightforward questions and listens for what feels most urgent. Sessions focus on practical steps a person can use between meetings. She avoids jargon and explains options in plain terms so a person knows what to expect at each visit.
Her work includes attention to emotional pain tied to abandonment, persistent health problems, and relationship communication problems. She also supports people dealing with control issues, guilt, shame, isolation, and social anxiety. Sexuality and women’s issues are noted areas of focus as well.
Jessica often helps people who are facing panic attacks, post-traumatic stress symptoms, or ongoing grief reactions by identifying small, manageable changes. She encourages experimentation with different techniques to see what fits a person’s life and goals.
Clients who choose to begin with Jessica complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule an initial session. Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time, and costs vary depending on location.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions
Evidence-based therapeutic techniques are the stated approach. That usually means methods grounded in research and practical skills training. Examples include structured, skills-focused work to reduce anxiety and practical strategies for managing panic attacks.For trauma-related concerns, approaches focus on safety, stabilization, and gradual processing. This can involve learning coping skills, pacing difficult memories, and building tolerance for distressing feelings. For grief and loss, the work often centers on meaning-making, remembering, and identifying routines that support day-to-day functioning.
Deciding which approach will be used is collaborative. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try different techniques, and adjust the plan based on what helps. The aim is to match methods to the person’s needs rather than prescribe a single path.
The biography does not specify which online session formats are provided. Please confirm the available formats before booking. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can use remote work to keep appointments consistent with everyday life while experimenting with approaches that suit each client.
