Jessica Hankins

Jessica Hankins is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Georgia. She focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, grief, parenting challenges, ADHD, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing trauma, eating issues, low self-esteem, bipolar concerns, and major life transitions.

Her work tends to be warm and interactive. She lets each person set the pace and focus of sessions while offering practical tools to respond to difficult situations. She emphasizes skills people can use between meetings to handle emotions and day-to-day stressors.

Jessica uses a mix of client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral tools, emotionally-focused ideas, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. That combination is meant to help people notice unhelpful patterns, try small changes, and track what works. Sessions can include coaching-style guidance when needed.

She brings 14 years of experience in mental health to her counseling. Her background includes training in school psychology and counseling, and she has worked with youth and adults on learning, emotional, and behavioral concerns. Jessica aims to help clients build practical strategies tailored to their lives.

People who want direct, down-to-earth support for everyday struggles often find her approach useful. She encourages collaboration and keeps the focus on steps clients can try right away. If you want help sorting priorities, managing moods, or improving communication, she guides each person toward realistic next steps.

How her approaches guide online work

Jessica mixes client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral methods and solution-focused techniques to help people make changes that matter. Client-centered work means she follows the client’s lead and creates space to talk about what feels most important. Cognitive behavioral methods focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to see what helps. Solution-focused techniques look at practical steps and past successes to build momentum for change.

Finding the best approach is part of the therapy process. She works collaboratively to choose methods that match a person’s goals and preferences, and she adjusts the plan as needs change. Clients and therapist decide together what to try and how to measure progress.

If you are considering online sessions, confirm the available session formats before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Some people prefer talking without video, while others like a full conversation by camera; discuss options when you schedule so sessions fit your routine.
