About Jessica

LPC (Licensed Professional Counselor) Jessica Hankins has 14 years of experience. She helps people in Georgia who are facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, relationship pain, trauma and related concerns. Jessica uses client-centered work alongside cognitive and emotionally-focused methods to help people develop practical responses to difficult situations.

Jessica focuses on clear, usable strategies rather than abstract theory. Sessions emphasize skills for managing emotions, improving communication, and coping with change. She also supports people dealing with eating concerns, bipolar mood issues, anger, and struggles with self-esteem.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Mindfulness Therapy, and Solution-Focused Therapy. That mix is used to identify what feels most helpful and to build step-by-step practices people can use between sessions.

Jessica’s background includes a Master of Arts with an Advanced Certificate in School Psychology from the University at Buffalo and a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology from the State University of New York College at Buffalo. She holds the LPC credential in Georgia.

In sessions she works with parents on coaching around child behavior and supports adults who are navigating relationship issues, grief, life transitions, and work-related strain such as compassion fatigue. People can expect direct discussion, practical tools, and attention to how changes will fit into everyday life.

How Jessica uses therapeutic approaches in online work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's lead. The therapist reflects concerns back, helps clarify priorities, and supports people as they decide what to work on. This approach can help with confidence, grief, parenting questions, and relationship strain.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect. Jessica uses CBT to identify unhelpful thinking patterns and to practice different responses. This is useful for anxiety, depression, anger, and coping with life changes.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) attends to emotion and attachment in relationships. EFT techniques help people understand emotional patterns and shift how they respond to strong feelings, which can aid communication and reduce repeated conflict.

Finding the right fit is a collaborative process. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences, try approaches that match those goals, and adjust methods based on what helps most. Clients help set the pace and focus as the work progresses.

Session formats are not specified in the available biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when schedules require them. The practical aim is to work in ways that fit everyday life while building the skills discussed in sessions.
