About Jessica
Jessica Owen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns as well as a range of issues like addiction, trauma, grief, parenting, and social anxiety and phobia. Jessica works with individuals to identify goals and build practical coping skills.
She uses a person-centered approach that gives the client more control in sessions. That means conversations are guided by what the client brings, and the counselor listens to help clarify feelings and priorities. Jessica also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and on mindfulness to increase present-moment awareness.
Sessions often involve talking through current challenges, practicing new coping strategies, and setting small, achievable steps between meetings. Motivational interviewing is used when change feels difficult, helping people find their own reasons to move forward. Solution-focused ideas help keep sessions practical and goal-oriented.
Jessica has helped people navigate transitions such as divorce, pregnancy and childbirth, postpartum depression, and fertility struggles, as well as concerns like panic attacks, substance problems, and self-harm. She brings direct experience working with trauma-related issues including sexual assault, domestic violence, and post-traumatic stress.
Her approach emphasizes clear, everyday language and workable skills rather than jargon. Prospective clients are encouraged to decide what they want from therapy and to discuss goals early so sessions can match those priorities.
How Jessica uses CBT, client-centered work and mindfulness online
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on letting the client lead conversations while the therapist listens and reflects. This approach helps people clarify what matters most and decide on next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It involves noticing unhelpful thinking patterns and practicing different ways of responding, which can help with anxiety and panic symptoms.
Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention skills to notice the present moment without judgment. That can reduce overwhelm during social situations and improve stress management.
Picking the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with a client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they’ll choose techniques to try and adjust them as needed.
