Jessica Harp, LPC

Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in South Carolina with eight years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical strategies that people can use day to day. Jessica aims to help clients reduce distress and rebuild routines so life feels more manageable.

Her work often centers on stress, anxiety, depression, and trauma. She also supports people facing grief, addiction, compassion fatigue, and career or parenting strain. She pays attention to how past relationships and family patterns affect current choices.

Jessica blends cognitive approaches with acceptance and skills-based work. In sessions she helps clients notice unhelpful thinking, try small behavior changes, and practice new ways to cope. She also uses client-centered listening to understand each person’s priorities.

Her background includes clinical program management and inpatient therapy roles. That experience shaped how she designs structured therapy plans and brief educational talks. Jessica applies what she learned in organizational settings to individual sessions and coaching-style work.

People who match well with Jessica are ready for practical steps and honest conversations. She works by setting clear goals, checking progress, and adapting methods as needs shift. Sessions are collaborative and paced to fit each person’s life and challenges.

How specific approaches shape online sessions

CBT, or Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors. It helps with anxiety, depression, unwanted habits, and problems that respond to step-by-step practice.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, emphasizes noticing difficult feelings and committing to actions that match values. It can help when people feel stuck by worry or avoidance and want a clearer sense of what matters to them.

Client-Centered Therapy uses active listening and empathy to build a trusting working relationship. That approach helps people feel heard and make their own choices about change.

Finding the right mix of methods is part of the work. The therapist collaborates to choose and adjust approaches based on goals, preferences, and how a client responds. Sessions are flexible so techniques can be tried and revised over time.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share thoughts in writing and fit sessions around a busy day. These formats make it easier to schedule consistent work and keep momentum between appointments.
