About Jessica
Jessica Philippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 15 years of experience. She works with stress, anxiety, eating concerns, self-esteem, depression, and navigating life changes, including social anxiety and phobia among her focus areas.
She began training as an art teacher before moving into Art Therapy and Clinical Mental Health Counseling. That shift led her to blend creative techniques with talk therapy. She uses art-based methods alongside more structured approaches to address symptoms and coping skills.
Her work often combines person-centered listening with practical strategies from cognitive and behavioral frameworks. Jessica also integrates trauma-informed ideas and solution-focused steps to help people manage overwhelming moments and take measurable steps forward.
Sessions include talking through current problems, practicing skills, and sometimes using art activities to access thoughts that are hard to name. She describes therapy as a collaborative process where the client and counselor decide what feels most helpful in session.
Her past work has included support for eating concerns, mood difficulties, panic and obsessive symptoms, and the fallout from trauma. She helps people facing issues such as body image, abandonment worries, guilt and shame, and young adult life transitions.
Jessica provides services in English and works under her Pennsylvania LPC credential. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the site's online options.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Jessica blends person-centered work, art-based techniques, and cognitive-behavioral ideas. Person-centered work focuses on listening and reflecting back what a client says to clarify feelings and goals. It helps when someone wants a calm, steady place to sort through social worries or low mood.Art-based techniques use drawing or simple creative tasks to help express thoughts that are hard to name. These methods can reveal patterns around body image, shame, or anxiety without relying only on words. Cognitive-behavioral ideas look at unhelpful thinking and teach concrete skills to reduce panic, social avoidance, and compulsive behaviors.
Finding the right mix of methods is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels useful and try different approaches, adjusting based on needs, goals, and preferences.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a weekday break, require less travel, or allow shorter check-ins when time is limited. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises, worksheets, and art prompts for remote work so the practical work of therapy can continue even when meeting virtually.
