About Jessica

Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 7 years of experience, Jessica McConnell helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, and related concerns. She also supports those facing trauma and abuse, issues around sexual orientation and LGBT concerns, self-esteem struggles, eating difficulties, parenting strain, anger, bipolar mood challenges, relationship stress, and coping with life changes. Jessica uses client-centered methods alongside Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally-Focused Therapy in her work.

Jessica keeps sessions direct and practical. She listens first, then helps people name what matters most. She uses clear strategies from CBT to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits. She also draws on client-centered skills to follow each person’s priorities and on emotionally-focused ideas when relationships or attachment patterns matter.

Her approach is straightforward and conversational. Sessions typically include talking through recent problems, practicing small skills between meetings, and checking what is working. She aims to make therapy understandable rather than clinical, with concrete steps a person can try between appointments.

Jessica’s background includes seven years of professional practice as an LPC in Pennsylvania. That experience includes supporting people after trauma and helping with mood and relationship concerns. She frames therapy as collaborative work rather than giving lectures.

To get started she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. The service uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats before booking.

How Jessica uses CBT, EFT, and client-centered work online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following what the person says is most important. The therapist reflects concerns back, checks understanding, and helps prioritize goals. This approach helps when someone needs a steady, non-directive conversation to sort through feelings.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to notice and change thinking and behavior patterns. CBT sessions often include short exercises and homework to practice new skills between meetings, useful for anxiety, depression, and stress management.

Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at how emotions show up in relationships and attachment. It helps people identify patterns in how they respond to others and practice different ways of relating when connection or relationship issues are central.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals, and she adjusts the plan as therapy progresses. Expect the therapist to check in about what’s helping and what to change.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit meetings into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals use these formats to help people keep therapy consistent while balancing everyday commitments.
