Jessica Edmundson
New to Grow
Hi, I’m Jessica. I provide a calm, steady space for adults feeling anxious, overwhelmed, or stuck in overthinking. I work with individuals navigating life transitions, past experiences, or high-stress environments, including veterans and caregivers. Together, we focus on helping you feel more grounded, confident, and connected to yourself, so you can move forward with clarity and balance. Many of my clients are capable, caring people who feel overwhelmed by anxiety, constant worry, or mental exhaustion. They may be navigating life transitions such as motherhood, relationship changes, career stress, or shifts in identity. I also work with veterans and individuals from high-stress environments who want a calm space to process and regain balance. Many are used to being the strong one for others but want to feel more grounded, present, and like themselves again.
Get to know me
In our first session together, here's what you can expect
In your first session, we’ll take time to get to know each other and understand your goals for therapy. You can expect a warm, nonjudgmental space to share what’s been challenging and what you hope to change. I’ll ask questions to understand your experiences and patterns, and together we’ll begin exploring strategies and tools to help you feel more grounded, calm, and confident. This session is about creating a safe foundation for your work moving forward.
The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions
What sets my approach apart is my commitment to empathy and authenticity. I strive to create a space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and understood without judgment. I meet clients where they are, honoring their experiences and unique perspectives, and I bring genuine curiosity and care to every session. Clients often notice that they feel supported, safe, and empowered in my sessions. The results I aim for go beyond symptom relief: helping clients gain clarity, develop coping skills, strengthen self-compassion, and feel more confident navigating life’s challenges.
The clients I'm best positioned to serve
I work best with clients who are ready to explore their experiences, understand themselves more deeply, and create meaningful change in their lives. This often includes people navigating stress, anxiety, low mood, relationship challenges, or big life transitions. I also enjoy supporting those who want to build confidence, strengthen resilience, and cultivate self-compassion. I take a collaborative, client-centered approach—meeting you where you are, at your own pace, and tailoring therapy to your unique goals and needs. My goal is to provide a safe, supportive space where you can reflect, process, and experiment with new ways of coping. Clients who thrive in my practice are open to self-reflection, curious about themselves, and ready to take small, practical steps toward growth. Together, we focus on building insight, skills, and confidence so you can feel more empowered in your everyday life.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I have experience using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy as a primary treatment approach in my practice. I use CBT to help clients identify and understand the relationship between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors, and how unhelpful thinking patterns can contribute to distress. Together, we work to challenge cognitive distortions, develop more balanced perspectives, and implement behavioral strategies that support healthier coping.
Mindfulness-Based Therapy
In my practice, mindfulness is a tool for helping clients feel more grounded, manage stress, and respond to challenges with greater awareness rather than reacting automatically.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
I focus on meeting clients where they are and honoring their lived experiences, values, and goals. Sessions are guided by the client’s needs rather than a rigid structure, and I prioritize genuine connection, empathy, and collaboration. By offering consistent support and acceptance, clients often feel more comfortable exploring challenges, gaining insight, and moving toward personal growth.
Positive Psychology
In sessions, I help clients identify personal strengths, values, and sources of meaning, and we explore practical ways to increase positive emotions and life satisfaction. This might include gratitude practices, strengths-based reflections, or small, intentional changes that support overall well-being. These tools are flexible and tailored to each client’s goals and experiences.
Psychoeducation
I often explain concepts such as stress responses, emotional regulation, boundaries, and coping strategies using real-life examples that are easy to relate to. Psychoeducation is woven naturally into sessions and adjusted to each client’s learning style, pace, and needs. The goal is to help clients feel informed, supported, and confident in using new tools.
