Jessie Mclaughlin, LPC

Jessie Mclaughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Colorado who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, self-esteem, relationship concerns, trauma, anger, and major life changes. She focuses on practical steps that build emotional strength and everyday coping skills. Jessie writes plainly and works to make therapy feel manageable for someone overwhelmed by life.

She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy shapes the pace and goals, so sessions follow what matters most to the person. Existential ideas and motivational interviewing are added when exploring values, purpose, and readiness for change.

Jessie has five years of experience and has worked in both inpatient and outpatient settings with adults facing mental health and substance use challenges. That background informs how she balances structure and empathy during sessions. She aims to tailor strategies to each person's everyday life.

In the room, she focuses on clear steps you can practice between sessions. That might include thought records, behavioral experiments, or small goal-setting exercises. Sessions tend to feel collaborative and action-oriented, with room for exploring meaning when that feels important.

Jessie also helps with substance-related concerns like smoking or vaping cessation and drug and alcohol addiction. She offers support around difficult family dynamics, career stress, and rebuilding self-worth after trauma. Her approach is practical, direct, and focused on helping people find steady ways to move forward.

Practical therapy approaches for online care

Jessie often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot thought patterns that increase stress or anxiety and to try new behaviors that change how they feel. CBT is useful for worries, low mood, social anxiety, and habit change like smoking or vaping cessation.

She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to let the person's priorities set the pace and goals. That approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and shaping therapy around what matters most to the individual. When motivation for change is needed, she draws on Motivational Interviewing to support readiness and small steps toward recovery.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessie will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful, then tailor strategies together. This collaborative process makes it easier to test methods and adjust over time.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which offer flexibility for different days and needs. Video calls let you use visual cues for deeper work, phone sessions can fit a quick check-in or a lower-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging supports brief updates and ongoing coaching between meetings. These options help people fit therapy into busy lives while keeping the focus on practical progress.
