About Jessica
Jessica Eddins is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) and a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Virginia with seven years of experience. She works with concerns such as stress, anxiety, addictions, relationship and family difficulties, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Jessica also addresses caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, divorce and separation, and money and financial issues.
Her work begins with a client-centered approach and practical tools. She listens and helps people set clear goals. Sessions can include mindfulness exercises, thought-challenging exercises from cognitive behavioral therapy, motivational interviewing to support change, and narrative techniques to reframe difficult experiences.
Jessica often uses writing prompts, worksheets, and guided mindfulness as part of sessions. She may suggest short assignments between meetings to practice new skills or reflect on progress. The focus is on concrete steps people can try between appointments to manage stress and strengthen coping skills.
When addiction or substance concerns are present, Jessica brings her background in substance work and peer recovery into planning supports and next steps. She helps people identify motivation for change and practical strategies to reduce harm and rebuild routines.

How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches for online sessions
Jessica commonly uses client-centered methods that focus on listening and collaboration. This approach centers on the person's goals and experiences, helping them set priorities and work at a comfortable pace.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers practical exercises and short between-session tasks to reduce anxiety, manage cravings, or change unhelpful patterns.
Mindfulness practices are another part of her work. Simple breathing and grounding exercises can help reduce immediate stress and support attention during difficult moments.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica will work with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That decision is collaborative and can change as progress is made.
