LCSW, 16 years of experience
Frequently rebooked
Are you looking to make changes but need support and gentle accountability? Then, let me introduce myself. My name is Jessica Stallard and I am a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in the state of Virginia (license #0904008299). I received a Bachelor’s Degree (BA) in Sociology and a Master’s Degree in Social Work (MSW) from Radford University in Radford, VA (Go Highlanders!). I have over 15 years of experience working with people from diverse backgrounds and various ages in a variety of clinical settings including crisis assessment, biopsychosocial assessment, outpatient counseling, EAP, teaching, and clinical supervision. I am a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist who uses cognitive behavioral and mindfulness concepts to help those I work with achieve the goals they set for themselves. If you think you might like to work with me, please reach out. I would love to see what we can do!
In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.
I am a person-centered and trauma-informed therapist that utilizes techniques and tools from cognitive behavioral concepts, motivational interviewing, mindfulness/somatic concepts, and, when appropriate, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
I believe that trust and respect are important for building a productive and therapeutic working relationship. I am a provider that prides herself on being respectful and practicing unconditional positive regard for those I work with in therapy; feedback is not only accepted but encouraged.
I prefer working with a wide range of clients as my background reflects.

Jessica helped me navigate one of the most challenging seasons of my life. I felt like she balanced challenging me to do the work to heal without ever invalidating the feelings I was having at the time. I'm not on the other side of that season and still seeing her to navigate what is next for me in my life. She's amazing!

Doctor Stallard is a wonderful therapist, she has been helping me for the past year across a myriad of issues and has upheld an authentic, professional and yet warm and endearing atmosphere. With her help, I have battled depression through self-affirming habit formation, I have become more self-expressive and able to communicate my feelings with others, and I have found myself becoming a more rounded and healthy person as a whole. She is a phenomenal support pillar.
