About Jessalyn

Jessalyn Wininger is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in Missouri who uses evidence-informed therapies to help clients navigate stress, mood concerns, trauma, and ADHD-related symptoms.

Background and approach

She draws on approaches such as acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral strategies, and mindfulness to help people identify values, develop practical skills, and build resilience. With four years of clinical experience, she combines structured skill-building with a collaborative, strengths-based stance.

She has worked with a wide range of concerns including LGBT issues, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy challenges, addictions, and mood disorders like depression and bipolar. Jessalyn also addresses issues such as grief, parenting stress, compassion fatigue, and sleep difficulties.

Her orientation emphasizes the client’s expertise in their own life and supports gradual, courageous steps toward meaningful change. Clients can expect a supportive, empowering therapist who aims to tailor techniques to each person’s goals and preferences.

Jessalyn focuses on helping people increase coping capacity, clarify priorities, and move toward a more fulfilling life through practical tools and collaborative planning.

Integrating evidence-based approaches into online care



Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters most to them and take committed action toward those values while learning to relate differently to difficult thoughts and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and building practical skills to change behaviors and reduce symptoms like anxiety and depression. Mindfulness-based techniques support present-moment awareness and emotional regulation, which can be useful for stress, trauma responses, and coping with attention challenges.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to assess needs, try different strategies, and adjust methods over time so treatment aligns with personal goals and preferences rather than following a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for scheduling and lets people access care from wherever they are in Missouri. These formats can make it easier to fit regular sessions into busy lives, allow for more immediate check-ins between sessions, and support continuity of care when in-person meetings aren’t feasible.
