About

Jerrica Barksdale, LMFT, is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist practicing in California with three years of clinical experience. She concentrates on strengthening identity, building confidence, and fostering lasting self-esteem for people who feel disconnected from who they are or who struggle with self-doubt. Her work emphasizes helping clients reclaim a clearer sense of self so they can show up more fully in relationships, work, and life.

She supports individuals, couples, and families facing anxiety, depression, stress, anger, and major life transitions, and she addresses related areas such as communication problems, forgiveness, isolation, life purpose, and self-love. Her experience includes work with mood disorders, trauma histories, identity struggles, and relational patterns that influence how people see themselves and interact with others.

Her clinical style is collaborative and strengths-based, integrating cognitive-behavioral techniques, narrative approaches, solution-focused strategies, and mindfulness practices. She attends to boundary setting, emotional regulation, and the development of self-worth, and she can incorporate faith and spirituality when clients want that element included in therapy.

Remote care with evidence-informed approaches



Jerrica offers remote sessions that draw on cognitive-behavioral strategies, narrative therapy, and mindfulness practices to address stress, anxiety, depression, and identity concerns. Cognitive-behavioral techniques focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, while narrative work explores the personal stories and relational patterns that shape self-image. Mindfulness skills support present-moment awareness and emotional regulation.

Sessions are approached collaboratively, with an emphasis on practical tools and exploration of values, boundaries, and self-worth. Solution-focused elements can be woven in to highlight strengths and short-term goals, and faith or spirituality may be included when it aligns with a client’s preferences.

Remote appointments are available by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options allow clients to choose the communication format that fits their routine and comfort while working together on identity development, coping with life changes, and improving relational patterns.
