Jessica Harp, LPC

Jessica Harp is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She brings eight years of clinical experience to sessions and focuses on practical strategies clients can use day to day. Jessica aims to help people regain balance when stress, anxiety, grief, or major life changes make things feel overwhelming.

She uses a mix of approaches that match each person's needs, including acceptance and commitment techniques, cognitive behavioral strategies, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy. In conversation she emphasizes straightforward tools - breathing and grounding techniques, thought records, and values-based action steps - that people can try between appointments.

Jessica's background includes clinical program management and inpatient therapy roles at several behavioral health organizations. That experience shapes how she organizes care, tracks progress, and works with people facing trauma, addiction, or ongoing mood concerns like depression and bipolar disorder.

Her work also addresses relationship stress, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and concerns common to veterans and first responders. She helps people name patterns such as codependency, abandonment fears, or social isolation, and then build concrete steps to shift those patterns.

Sessions prioritize collaboration and clear goals. Jessica supports people who want coaching-style direction as well as those who prefer a reflective, client-centered pace. To begin, clients use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire before scheduling.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online care

Jessica uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to help people clarify their values and take small actions toward them, even when difficult thoughts or feelings show up. ACT can be helpful for anxiety, low mood, and life transitions where people want clearer direction.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another common element of her work and focuses on identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing them with practical experiments. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and social fears by giving people concrete tools to change thinking and behavior.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) skills are used when emotion regulation, impulsivity, or intense reactions are concerns; these skills teach pacing, distress tolerance, and communication techniques that can reduce crises and improve relationships.

Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals and preferences, and together they decide which methods to emphasize. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

Session formats are not detailed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Licensed professionals can adapt ACT, CBT, and DBT exercises to remote sessions so people can practice skills between meetings and track progress.
