Jessica Hauser
As a Christian clinical counselor, my heart's desire is to walk beside you, blending professional, evidence-based psychological tools with a compassionate approach to healing.
Whether you are navigating the heavy layers of trauma, wrestling with anxiety and depression, or trying to heal a hurting relationship, I am here to meet you with open arms and zero judgment.
While my personal foundation is rooted in Christ, please know that you are completely welcome here exactly as you are—whether you are walking strong in your faith, wrestling with doubts, or do not practice a faith at all. Over the past four years, I have been honored to offer trauma-informed therapy to individuals, couples, and families from all walks of life. Whether you are navigating the heavy layers of trauma, wrestling with anxiety and depression, or trying to heal a hurting relationship, I am here to meet you with open arms and zero judgment. Together, we will build a close partnership where you feel truly heard and empowered to process past hurts, discover effective coping strategies, and reclaim your emotional peace. For clients who desire it, I have a passion to invite the healing presence of the Wonderful Counselor into our work through therapeutic prayer, but your comfort level always guides our sessions.
First session
During the first session, we will get to know one another and I will orient you to my therapeutic process to see if we are a good fit. You will have the opportunity to share your background as well as goals you would like to achieve in our work together.

My goals of therapy include the implementation of evidence-based interventions to aid in your ability to build resilience and increase your confidence so that you may tackle anything that life may throw at you and reach your God-given potential.

Ideal clients
My ideal client is open, authentic, enjoys verbally processing their thoughts, and is ready to dig deep to get to the root of their concerns. I love working with individuals who are eager to apply practical tools between sessions to create lasting change. I specialize in helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma. For those who desire it, I also warmly welcome inviting the Holy Spirit into our sessions as part of the healing process.
Ongoing work together
In our ongoing sessions, you can expect a supportive, judgment-free space built on trust and open communication. We will begin each session with a check-in, explore the root of what you are walking through, and regularly review the goals we set together to keep your growth on track. Progress often looks like gaining deeper self-awareness, breaking old patterns, and feeling more equipped to handle life’s challenges with confidence between our sessions.
Treatment methods
Faith-based therapy
I integrate biblical counseling with evidence-based clinical tools to support your whole self—mind, heart, and spirit. Because every person is unique, I draw from a variety of approaches—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Person-Centered, and Emotion-Focused therapies—to meet you right where you are. Together, we will use these practical tools to help you regulate difficult emotions, build healthy coping skills, and reshape unhelpful thought patterns and core beliefs. I also integrate spirit led prayer for those who are open to it.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) by helping you recognize the automatic thoughts and core beliefs driving your anxiety, low mood, or stress. Rather than just talking about the problem, we will look at how those thoughts impact your emotions and behaviors, and practice practical strategies to reframe them. This gives you concrete tools you can use in real time to shift your mindset and respond differently to life’s challenges.
Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
With Emotion-Focused Therapy (EFT), we look beyond surface-level symptoms to get to the root of your emotional pain. Together, we will identify recurring emotional patterns, process unresolved hurt, and help you transform overwhelming feelings like shame, fear, or anger into healthier emotional responses. As you learn to understand and regulate your emotions with grace, you will feel more grounded and secure in your daily life and relationships.
Dialectical Behavior (DBT)
I integrate Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) to help you find balance between accepting yourself right where you are and working toward meaningful change. Together, we will build practical, real-world skills in four core areas: mindfulness, distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and healthy communication. These tools will help you stay grounded during overwhelming moments, navigate conflict with grace, and respond to stress with greater steadiness.
Person-centered (Rogerian)
With Person-Centered Therapy, the foundation of our work is a genuine, trusting relationship where you never have to wear a mask. I bring unconditional positive regard, active listening, and authenticity to every session so you feel fully supported as you explore your story. When you have a space where you are completely accepted just as you are, real growth and clarity naturally follow.
