Jessica Yetto , LPC

Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience. She earned a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2004 and has built a diverse career supporting people with significant mental health needs across a variety of settings. Over the past seven years she has worked within a jail environment, conducting intakes, evaluating suicide ideation, providing crisis intervention, and offering targeted counseling as situations require. She also partners with correctional staff to help them understand and respond to individuals experiencing mental health crises, and provides support to officers affected by on-site deaths.

Earlier roles include work in transitional housing for people with severe mental health diagnoses, mobile therapy, behavioral specialist consultation, and supervision of a family support program. In these roles she has focused on practical coping strategies and short-term, solution-oriented interventions suited to the realities of each setting. Her practice regularly addresses anxiety, depression, trauma, addictions, mood and personality concerns, relationship and family issues, grief, and sleep and eating difficulties. She collaborates with a CRNP and a PA to address medication and physical health questions when needed.

Because much of her recent work occurred in a restricted environment, she is interested in expanding her practice beyond the jail setting to work with a broader and more diverse population, offering more extensive counseling options than those available in custody settings.
