About Jessica

Jessica Hankins is an LPC based in Georgia who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, ADHD, grief, relationship concerns, and related life challenges.

Background and approach

With 14 years of professional experience, she blends practical skill-building and compassionate support so clients can develop clearer coping strategies and healthier patterns of relating. Her work also addresses parenting and family dynamics, trauma and abuse, eating and body-image struggles, and persistent issues like impulsivity, anger, and low self-esteem.

Her therapeutic stance is warm, client-centered, and collaborative, encouraging people to set the pace and priorities for their work together. Jessica integrates evidence-informed methods such as cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally focused principles, and solution-focused strategies alongside mindfulness practices to tailor interventions to each person’s needs.

She aims to help clients identify workable strategies to respond differently to stressors and to move toward practical goals and greater emotional balance. Jessica holds the LPC credential and offers services in English in Georgia.

Her additional focus areas include attachment issues, autism and Asperger Syndrome, communication difficulties, forgiveness and guilt, life-purpose exploration, and coaching for compassion fatigue and life transitions.

Approaches for Online Support and Practical Change

Jessica often draws on client-centered therapy, which places the person's experience and priorities at the center of sessions and emphasizes empathy, respect, and collaborative pacing. This approach helps people clarify their goals and feel heard while building motivation for change.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns. CBT techniques are practical and skill-focused, often helpful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related struggles, and managing stress with concrete strategies.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist partners with clients to explore which methods feel most useful based on individual needs, goals, and preferences, and adapts the mix of techniques over time to match progress and changing priorities.

Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing people to connect in ways that fit their schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain consistent work on concerns like stress, relationships, and coping skills while balancing other life commitments.
