Jessie Mclaughlin , LPC

Jessie Mclaughlin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who brings a compassionate, strengths-based perspective to work with adults facing anxiety, depression, addiction, and life transitions. With a master’s degree in clinical psychology earned in 2017, she combines formal training with practical experience in both inpatient and outpatient settings, supporting people across a range of symptom levels and ages. She has five years of clinical practice helping clients build emotional resilience, cope with stress, and recover from substance use and trauma.

Jessie draws on a person-centered foundation that emphasizes each client’s individuality while also using targeted, solution-focused techniques to identify practical steps forward. She employs cognitive behavioral strategies to address unhelpful thinking patterns, existential ideas to explore meaning and life purpose, and motivational interviewing to support change for those struggling with addiction. Her method is adaptable - she blends approaches to match each person’s needs and goals rather than relying on a single formula.

Clients work with Jessie to develop greater self-awareness, healthier coping skills, and clearer direction when managing relationships, career pressures, mood symptoms, or addictive behaviors. She aims to provide nonjudgmental support and practical tools so that clients can move toward more intentional, satisfying lives.

Therapeutic Approaches and Flexible Online Care

Jessie Mclaughlin uses client-centered therapy to place the person’s experiences and values at the center of care - this approach helps people feel heard and supports exploration of identity, relationships, and life purpose. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, is used to identify and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be effective for anxiety, depression, and many everyday stressors. Motivational Interviewing supports clients who are ambivalent about change by clarifying personal reasons for change and building intrinsic motivation for healthier choices.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessie collaborates with each client to determine which methods fit best based on their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts strategies over time so therapy stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, attend sessions from different locations, and choose the communication style that feels most accessible while working with licensed professionals and therapists.
