About Jessica

Jessica Steely is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who offers supportive, practical therapy for people facing stress, anxiety, depression, and big life changes. She aims to build a calm, respectful space where clients feel heard and can start making steady changes. Jessica emphasizes clear communication and realistic steps that fit everyday life.

She uses a person-centered, mindfulness-based style. That means sessions focus on the client’s goals and present-moment awareness. Jessica helps people notice patterns, build insight, and try small changes that add up over time.

With nine years of clinical experience, she has worked with people dealing with relationship struggles, difficulties with boundaries, and self-esteem concerns. Her work also includes themes such as attachment and abandonment issues, commitment questions, blended family dynamics, body image, caregiver stress, and forgiveness. She has experience addressing topics related to BDSM, kink, and alternative sex culture in a nonjudgmental way.

Jessica takes a collaborative approach. She listens to what matters to each person, then helps choose strategies that feel manageable. Sessions aim to leave people with concrete techniques to handle anxiety, improve communication, and cope with life transitions.

Clients who prefer English language sessions can work with her from Pennsylvania. International clients are accepted. To begin, prospective clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to Jessica’s availability.

How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Work

Jessica blends person-centered care and mindfulness-based techniques to help people notice patterns and try small, useful changes. A person-centered approach means sessions start with the client’s priorities and goals, and the therapist follows the client’s lead to make each session relevant. Mindfulness-based work teaches simple awareness skills to manage anxiety, improve emotional regulation, and reduce reactivity.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will listen to what you want to change and suggest ways to work toward those goals. Together you will try techniques and adjust strategies based on what feels most helpful and practical for everyday life.

If you are interested in online therapy, confirm the specific session formats before booking, as they are not listed here. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Many people find that regular online sessions help maintain momentum while juggling work, caregiving, or other responsibilities.
