About
Jessica McDaniel is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) who works with adults seeking meaningful change and steadier emotional well-being. She approaches therapy with the belief that people often have more capacity than they realize, and she focuses on helping clients take on the difficult steps that move life forward. Sessions are collaborative and goal-oriented, with ongoing check-ins to clarify what matters most, track progress, and adjust the plan as needs evolve.
With 17 years of experience across a variety of clinical settings, Jessica supports clients navigating depression, anxiety, relationship and interpersonal concerns, life transitions, parenting challenges, vocational stress, anger management, trauma, abuse, and grief. Her work often draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), an approach that looks at how patterns of thinking influence emotions and day-to-day choices. She also integrates relaxation strategies and mindfulness practices to help clients develop practical tools for stress relief and more grounded coping.
Jessica aims to help clients reduce worry, manage stress, adapt to change, and work toward personal goals by building both short-term strategies and longer-term solutions for the concerns bringing them to therapy.

Therapy Approaches That Translate Well to Online Care
Jessica McDaniel integrates evidence-informed approaches that can be used effectively in online sessions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on the connection between thoughts, feelings, and actions, helping clients notice unhelpful patterns and practice more workable ways of responding to stress, anxiety, and depression in everyday life.She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), which emphasizes building awareness of internal experiences while making room for difficult thoughts or feelings without getting stuck in them. ACT supports clients in clarifying values and taking practical steps toward the kind of life they want, even during major transitions or ongoing challenges.
Mindfulness Therapy adds skills for slowing down, grounding attention, and using relaxation techniques to reduce overwhelm and build steadier coping over time.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients to understand goals, preferences, and what has or has not been helpful before, then adjusts strategies as therapy progresses.
Online therapy also offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. This range of options can make it easier to fit support into a busy schedule and to stay connected between sessions when life feels demanding.
