About
Jessica O'Connor-Rathbun, LPC, works with people in Louisiana who are confronting stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and trauma and abuse. With three years of clinical experience, she focuses on building practical skills for communication, managing strong emotions, and restoring a sense of self-worth. Her practice attends to a wide range of concerns including attachment and abandonment issues, family-of-origin dynamics, and complications that arise in blended families and caregiving roles.
She places particular emphasis on supporting young adults and women as they navigate life transitions and relationship complexities. Her approach centers on creating a compassionate, non-judgmental space where clients can name difficult patterns such as codependency, impulsivity, or jealousy and begin to explore healthier ways of relating to themselves and others. Jessica helps clients address issues like infidelity, domestic violence, and isolation with clear focus and steady guidance.
Throughout care she draws on evidence-informed strategies to aid clients in processing painful experiences, improving communication, and moving toward more grounded self-esteem. Her practice aims to help each person clarify goals and take manageable steps toward the changes they want to see.
Remote care and therapeutic focus
Jessica offers remote sessions using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexible options for connecting. She frames online work around clear goals and practical skills that translate to everyday life, with attention to pacing and collaboration so clients feel part of the process.
Her work draws on evidence-informed practices to help clients process difficult emotions and reframe patterns that contribute to distress. That often involves guided emotional processing to name and sit with painful material, combined with focused efforts to strengthen communication skills for use in relationships and family contexts.
Jessica tailors each remote plan to fit how a person prefers to engage. Some clients benefit from regular video conversations supplemented by messaging between sessions, while others choose shorter check-ins by phone or chat. She aims to partner with clients to select the format and rhythm that best supports their goals.How long has Jessica been practicing?
