About Jessica
Jessica Helms is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) licensed in Arkansas with four years of clinical experience. She works with people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, depression, relationship and family concerns, parenting strain, anger, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English.
Jessica frames sessions around clear, practical conversation. She listens for patterns that keep a problem going and helps people notice what happens before, during, and after strong emotions. That usually leads to small, doable changes rather than big overhauls. She also addresses related issues like low self-esteem, guilt, shame, impulsivity, and isolation.
Her background includes work with trauma, post-traumatic stress, and mood disorders. She has supported people dealing with abandonment and attachment issues, caregiver stress, control problems, and communication difficulties. Jessica reports experience with panic attacks, social anxiety, sexuality questions, and forgiveness issues.
In sessions she focuses on building skills and clearer thinking to reduce emotional flooding and reactive behavior. Conversations often cover specific triggers, practical coping tools, and ways to repair communication after an outburst. Progress is tracked in concrete steps so people can see what changes help.
Jessica is also active in a PhD program in counseling psychology. That ongoing study informs her work and keeps her approach connected to current evidence and methods. To start, people select the online therapy options button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule a first session.
How Jessica uses evidence-based techniques online
Jessica describes using evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and cognitive work. One common method is basic cognitive restructuring which helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, test them, and try more balanced thinking; this often helps with anxiety, anger, and low mood. Another frequently used approach is skills-based coping work that teaches concrete strategies for managing strong emotions, such as breathing, grounding, and short behavioral changes to reduce impulsive reactions.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, current struggles, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they choose techniques to try, check whether those methods are helping, and adjust the plan over time.
