Jessica Christmann , LCMHC

Jessica Christmann is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) based in North Carolina who brings 13 years of experience to her therapeutic work. She emphasizes unconditional presence, warmth, and acceptance as foundations for helping people navigate anxiety, depression, PTSD, relationship struggles, difficulty setting boundaries, codependency, nightmares, low self-esteem, and a variety of other concerns. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to set treatment goals and to explore choices, desires, obstacles, enduring patterns, and limiting beliefs that affect daily life.

As an integrative therapist, she blends tools and techniques from multiple modalities to match the needs of the individual client rather than relying on a single method. Her practice invites curiosity and self-compassion so clients can examine difficulties with less judgment and more clarity. Sessions focus on gaining insight into behavioral patterns, discovering who clients want to be in the world, and identifying what is needed to grow and thrive.

Jessica values creativity in the healing process and aims to help people develop practical skills alongside deeper understanding. She approaches therapy as a collaborative journey, supporting clients as they work toward more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others.

Approaches That Guide Online Therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, often called ACT, helps people notice difficult thoughts and feelings without being driven by them, and then identify values-based actions to move forward. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep someone stuck.

Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationship patterns shape expectations and emotional responses, offering ways to repair connection and build healthier interpersonal patterns. This approach can be helpful for attachment issues, codependency, and relationship difficulties.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, teaches concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving interpersonal effectiveness, and tolerating distress. It is often applied to mood instability, anger, and situations where emotion regulation is a primary concern.

Finding the right therapeutic approach is part of the work itself - the therapist collaborates with each person to determine which techniques best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time as progress and priorities evolve.

Online therapy with licensed professionals offers flexibility in how and when sessions occur. Video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life, access care from different locations, and maintain continuity of support between appointments.
