About me

I am a mental health counselor licensed in the state of Missouri with five years of experience working as a counselor. I have experience working with concerns such as anxiety, depression, PTSD, ADHD, personality disorders, and trauma history. I have worked with a range of ages, from as young as 4 to individuals in their 70’s.

When working with a client, I am warm and understanding and also enjoy using humor when appropriate. I believe everyone deserves to be seen as the expert in their own story. My approach to therapy is a combination of cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavioral, and person-centered therapy. Therapy sessions and treatment plans will be individualized to meet your specific needs.

I look forward to meeting you and supporting your journey in an understanding, empathetic way.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Jessica Erickson. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.

Jessica is a good listener and she is very flexible. She quickly assesses what I need conversation wise and gives it. I feel safe and not judged, and heard all the time. I’m grateful for her and the points of reflection she’s given me.

Jessica is a wonderful active listener. I also love how she offers suggestions in a way that says “there are many different strategies. Let’s find something that resonates for you.”

Jessica is very easy to talk to and she talks back to you like you are a real person. She takes her time to understand what you are saying when you are having a hard time explain thoughts feelings or things that happen. She gives you time to become comfortable talking about things when you are not ready yet. She is simply amazing.
