Jessica Christmann, LCMHC

Jessica Christmann is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina. She brings 13 years of experience helping people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship struggles, trauma, sleep problems, anger, and career concerns. She aims to meet clients with warmth and steady presence so they feel heard from the start.

Her approach is collaborative and practical. Goals are set together and sessions focus on understanding patterns, choices, and obstacles. Jessica uses clear, everyday language and helps people notice unhelpful habits while learning new ways to respond.

Jessica describes her work as integrative. She draws on methods such as cognitive behavioral ideas, acceptance and commitment principles, attachment-focused thinking, and skills from dialectical behavior therapy to match what a person needs. Sessions typically include talking, reflection, and practice of small skills between meetings.

She pays special attention to issues tied to attachment, codependency, communication problems, control struggles, dissociation, and recovery from domestic violence or substance use. Jessica also supports people dealing with nightmares, mood concerns, paranoia, and post-traumatic stress related difficulties.

Her aim is to help people grow more curious and self-compassionate. Therapy with her focuses on finding workable steps that fit daily life, not on labels. To begin, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to the therapist's availability.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and commit to actions that match their values. It is useful for anxiety, avoidance, and low motivation. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on spotting unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to reduce symptoms like anxiety and low mood. It often includes small homework tasks to practice between sessions. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people shift how they relate to others and to themselves, which is often helpful for relationship and attachment concerns.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick strategies that match their goals, preferences, and what shows up in sessions. That choice can change over time as needs shift.

If you are considering online therapy, confirm which session formats the therapist currently offers before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, shorten commute time, or allow check-ins that focus on specific skills practice. Many therapeutic tasks translate well to remote sessions, including thought tracking, values work, and skills from CBT or DBT, so practical progress can be made without changing your routine.
