About Jessica
Jessica Mangan is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Michigan with 20 years of clinical experience. She works with adults dealing with stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship trouble, trauma and abuse, anger, grief, parenting strain, and related concerns. Jessica also supports people facing career shifts, questions about life purpose, and struggles with guilt and shame.
She earned a master’s degree in counseling psychology from Western Michigan University in 2005. Her background includes crisis units, community mental health centers, and correctional settings. She has held leadership roles and worked as a staff trainer as well as a clinician.
Jessica’s approach is straightforward and practical. She talks through what is happening, helps people notice patterns, and teaches concrete skills to use right away. Expect a direct, honest style aimed at increasing coping tools and reducing the behaviors that cause regret or conflict.
Her work often focuses on addictions and trauma alongside mood and anxiety concerns. She uses evidence-based techniques and mixes short-term problem solving with skills that build longer-term control over emotions and behavior. Mindfulness and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox.
Sessions typically emphasize skill-building, clear feedback, and collaborative planning. Jessica aims to help people identify small changes that add up to steadier relationships and less reactivity. She invites prospective clients to complete a brief questionnaire and schedule an initial session to get started.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot the thoughts and behaviors that fuel anger and to practice different responses. CBT breaks problems into small parts so you can try new actions and see what changes.She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to teach distress tolerance and emotion regulation techniques. DBT-style skills can be useful when intense feelings lead to impulsive reactions and when people want steadier ways to respond in relationships.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jessica will work with clients to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. That collaborative decision considers their current struggles, what has or hasn’t helped before, and practical life constraints.
The practical benefits of remote sessions include fitting therapy into a busy schedule and reducing travel time. Some formats let sessions be shorter or audio-only to accommodate work breaks or lower bandwidth. Because the biography does not list specific formats, confirm the available online session options before scheduling so you know how sessions will actually be conducted.
