Jessica OwenLCMHC

Jessica Owen is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with 11 years of experience. She centers her work on the person in front of her and helps people notice their strengths even when stress makes thinking fuzzy. Jessica encourages practical steps so clients can feel clearer and move toward goals at their own pace.

She frames therapy as a process of naming feelings, identifying needs, and finding ways to increase satisfaction in daily life. Her style is client-centered, meaning the person leads the conversation and Jessica follows with questions and reflections. She uses a mix of approaches tailored to what each person wants to accomplish.

Jessica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thought patterns that feed anxiety or low mood and to try small behavior changes. She also uses Mindfulness techniques to build skills for calm and grounding, and Solution-Focused work to map short-term steps toward practical goals. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change and needs support in strengthening commitment.

Her experience includes supporting people through stress, anxiety, grief, trauma, addictions, parenting transitions, postpartum depression, fertility and pregnancy-related concerns, and relationship difficulties. She also works with issues like ADHD, compassion fatigue, and self-esteem struggles.

For new clients she asks that they use the site's Start Therapy process, complete a brief matching questionnaire, and schedule based on her availability. Session timing varies during the year, so she aims to set appointments that fit each person’s needs.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jessica uses client-centered work as the foundation, which means she follows the client's lead and focuses on what matters most to them in each session. This approach helps shape online conversations so time is used on the client's priorities.

She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify thinking and behavior patterns that maintain problems and to try small, practical changes between sessions. Mindfulness techniques are offered to build simple grounding and stress-management skills that can be practiced outside sessions to reduce anxiety and improve focus.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which combination of methods fits best. She adjusts methods as progress is made so sessions stay useful and relevant.

The therapist's profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so appointments are more practical during pregnancy, parenting, or work hours.
