Jessica David , LPC

Jessica David is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Missouri with 13 years of clinical experience. She has worked in residential programs supporting people who have experienced trauma and abuse, as well as in school settings, and she brings that background to a collaborative, goal-focused approach to care.

Jessica emphasizes creating a nonjudgmental space where individuals can speak openly and work toward meaningful change. She supports clients in identifying clear goals and serves as a guide and ally as they build skills, strengthen motivation, and increase confidence. Her work often centers on depression, stress and anxiety, relationship concerns, trauma and abuse recovery, motivation, self-esteem, and confidence.

Therapeutically she draws on a range of approaches, including client-centered methods that prioritize the person s perspective, solution-focused techniques for practical problem solving, cognitive behavior strategies to shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, strength-based work to build on existing resources, and mindfulness practices to support emotional regulation. Jessica aims to help people move toward the life they want by blending approaches to fit each person s needs and pace.

Therapeutic Approaches Adapted for Online Care

Jessica David uses client-centered therapy to prioritize each person s perspective and values, offering a supportive space where the therapist follows the client s lead and helps clarify goals and priorities. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be especially useful for addressing anxiety, depression, and stress. Mindfulness therapy teaches attention and awareness practices that help with emotional regulation, grounding, and reducing reactivity, often supporting clients coping with trauma, grief, or ongoing stressors.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica works collaboratively with clients to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adapts techniques over time so the therapy remains practical and aligned with what the client hopes to achieve.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, providing flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options allow clients to access care from home, coordinate sessions around work or family commitments, and continue momentum between in-person opportunities, making consistent support more achievable.
