About Jessica

Jessica Chester is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Georgia with 15 years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, parenting concerns, anger, self-esteem, and depression. Jessica also helps with commitment issues, communication problems, workplace struggles, and young adult challenges.

She speaks plainly in sessions and emphasizes practical skills. That often means learning ways to notice triggers, calm intense feelings, and respond differently in the moment. She uses techniques that help break down patterns, then practices alternatives in real life.

Jessica draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused work. Sessions tend to combine thinking about unhelpful beliefs, practicing emotional regulation skills, and setting small achievable goals. The focus is on actions you can try between sessions and ways to track what helps.

Her work pays attention to relationships and communication. People come to her for help with arguments that escalate, resentment that builds up, and stress that affects work and home life. She also addresses panic, dissociation, self-harm thoughts, and feelings of guilt or shame when those issues arise.

In sessions she aims to be straightforward and practical. Expect short-term tools and longer-term skill building depending on what you need. If you want help managing anger or reducing stress in daily life, she offers clear steps to practice and review together.

How sessions work

Approaches that translate to online work

Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy in practical, goal-oriented ways. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which helps with anxiety, low mood, and workplace stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation and distress-tolerance skills useful for anger and impulsivity.

She also uses mindfulness practices to help notice reactions without being swept away by them, and solution-focused techniques to set small, doable goals. Finding the right mix of these approaches is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences rather than prescribing a single method up front.

Confirm the exact session formats before you book because the biography does not list them. Many people choose online sessions to fit therapy into busy schedules, make shorter check-ins during a workday break, or avoid travel time. Online work can make it easier to practice skills between meetings and to bring real-life situations into session for discussion.
