Where do I begin..? Jessica is beyond wonderful!!! When I first came to her I was a total mess! I reach goals with her and worked hard for the little time I had with her. Jessica is like a friend or a big sister when you talk to her. She makes you comfortable, she care and is open minded! She always checked up on you and make sure she available whenever you want to vent or talk.I’m much better compare to when I started never though that I would get over my difficult time. I’m bless that I’ve work with her!! Thank you very much from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Jessica and I only worked together for a week. However, in that short space of time I felt like a lot was accomplished. She was able to quickly cut to the core of the issue, and offered highly valuable advice. Jessica was also highly understanding, and I felt comfortable and safe with opening up. Her advice has allowed me to see things in a more positive light, and I am now able to work on the things she suggested more effectively. I highly recommend Jessica to anyone facing anxiety, depression, spiritual attack, or anyone with parental issues. Her openness is valuable.
More about Jessica
- 13 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with more than 15 years experience in counseling and clinical mental/behavioral health. I graduated with honors from Alcorn State University with a Bachelor's in Educational Psychology and a Master's in Guidance and counseling. I have been clinically trained in diagnosis and treatment of mental, behavioral, and emotional instabilities. I have taught and facilitated several workshops regarding parental education, family relationships, and motivation empowerment.
My therapeutic approaches vary. It is and has always been to individualize techniques specifically to each person. I am skilled in cognitive therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, integrative therapy, dialectical and client-centered therapy. I have counseled individuals with a wide variety of issues which include: depression, parental concerns, career discord, marriage and family, anxiety, emotional abuse, and other issues. It is my goal to help each client reach their goals and maximum functioning level by motivating and working alongside the client to tackle their challenges. I have the utmost respect and regard for my client's privacy and want them to feel that about themselves as we work together.
I'm excited about what challenges we will resolve together and look forward to being here for you soon.~ JD.

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Jessica is very compassionate and understanding. I have been able to get direction and insight from her. She has a non judgemental and caring approach. Worth every penny!
Jessica is my first ever therapist and I am extremely happy with our sessions. She listens actively, and gives extremely good hindsight on my issues, she isn't judgemental at all, and I always feel safe to open up with her. Overall she is very relatable and just easy to talk to, and in the short amount of time I've been seeing her, I have already seen major changes! I would recommend her to anyone with self esteem issues, childhood trauma, anger issues and overall any issues that is holding you back from being your best self!
This is the third therapist I’ve had on this platform and I finally feel like I have found my fit. It feels comfortable like talking to a friend but I can also see her professionalism and skill. It’s the balance I was looking for.
I'm grateful to have met Jessica. I wouldn't be where I'm at without her.
Jessica is #THATgirl. I've been toying with the idea of therapy for 2 years, not knowing where to start or if I'd be comfortable telling a stranger my problems. I've always dreamed of having a therapist who would completely understand me and make my voice feel important. I've only met with her 3 times, but in that small amount of time; she has provided me with a wealth of knowledge/wisdom. I look forward to working with her until I can stand on my own with the materials and methods that she is providing me with weekly. I am so glad that she was available to take me as a client. I feel comfortable, seen, and heard. I am able to talk with her without putting up boundaries that would get in the way of my coaching.
The therapy sessions have been so helpful. I feel comfortable opening up to her and we really get into the nitty gritty of everything which I really needed. She is also very practical when it comes to solutions for the problems I discuss with her.
Jessica is a treasure to this world, I'm grateful to know her.
Jessica is such a beautiful soul. I feel like I’ve known her my whole life. She really asks me questions that help me reflect as well gives me tools on how to handle what I believe I lack the most. I genuinely thank her for everything thus far.
Jessica has given me the confidence to tackle issues I have been burying my head in the sand over for a long time. Her sessions are very empowering. She doesn’t automatically tell me what I want to hear which I like, but she listens to me, helps me find solutions and not to be so hard on myself. She has saved me.
I love working with Jessica, she makes me feel comfortable, listens to me and gives great relateable advice!
Mrs. Dean is great. I feel better about my mental and emotional health!
Jessica is super thoughtful and caring and is not afraid to tell you straight facts. She is honest and articulate. It was great working with her.
Dr. Dean was very patient & kind. She was also very honest and great to work with.
I have worked with Jessica for a little over a year and I must say I really enjoyed the last year working with her. I felt completely comfortable in every session with her. If I ever do feel the need for guidance again, I would definitely come back to her. Thank you so much Jessica!
She is indeed very understanding and supportive. She reads all your messages thoroughly and understands the situation. Also she lets you know the truth and doesn’t sugarcoat which works good for me.
My counselling experience with Jessica has been wonderful. Not only has she been kind and attentive she has also been encouraging and supportive. Even though we are in different time zones, it has never been a barrier for us to communicate. She would still respond to my text whenever she is able to. I’m really grateful to have found her as my counsellor as I no longer feel that I’m fighting alone.
A nice girl, friendly and I can talk to her about anything. Her comments, advice, and even tasks so I can learn more are very helpful.
Wonderful and very supportive and understanding, I feel at ease talking to Jessica and she has helped me a lot in the past year.
Jessica has been an amazing counselor, helping me coming through my difficulties, navigating over my feelings and thoughts, always helping me to find tools to find my answers. Very attentive, warm and kind. Thank you very much!
Jessica is a great counselor. In the short time that I've spent with her, she's treated me amazingly and constantly reached out when I was feeling antisocial or too busy to reply. I highly recommend her services to anyone who needs a shoulder to cry on and an ear to listen. 10/10. Would talk to again.
She always knows what to say to make me feel better and give me action items to implement in my daily life, to carry what we have learned in our sessions forward.
Jessica has been able to help me process what’s been going on in my life. After my first session I gained so much clarity about my situation and I was able to move forward making a decision that was beneficial to my well being. She has been readily available whenever I needed to speak about a concern.
Since the very first day Jessica made me feel welcome. She remained available every day (as opposed to the previous counsellor) and helped me with my anger and anxiety issues by providing insight and goals. She truly cares about you. I have come to consider her a friend.
Jessica was so kind and understanding every step of the way. She really embodies all the characteristics that you could ask for in a counsellor. Highly recommended!
Jessica is such a great lady. She has been so attentive and seems genuinely interested in me and my issues. Even if I haven't been in contact for a few days she sends me a message to ask how I am doing. I am so happy to have someone to talk to someone with expertise that really seems dedicated to me. Thank you so much Jessica.
Jessica is a very lovely and friendly counselor. I feel so much better and feel really encouraged to conquer my problem. Thank you for matching me with Jessica - she's so amazing and friendly!
Jessica's approach to counseling was amazing and comfortable. She was never at anytime judgemental, and she really did listen and ask the right questions to get me thinking about various topics from a different perspective - which I found to be super important. I can tell she really cared and was listening/reading everything i said and was genuinely concerned about my concerns as well. Her advice and guidance really made me feel at ease and it, has so far, set me on the right path to succeed. I would most definitely love to connect with her again when/if the time comes.
Jessica has helped me to deal with some issues that I've been having lately. She told me what I needed to hear and that definitely helped me to have a better perspective at the situation. She is also very friendly and very open-minded. Thank you Jessica. It was wonderful having you as my counselor. :)
Jessica has helped me conquer a very difficult situation. She was there with me at each step and even pushed me out of my comfort zone. She gave me the resources to see beyond the situation and realize that I am a stronger person for confronting the issue.
