Jessica Cleary
Hi! I appreciate you considering me to work with you throughout your counseling journey. I am a Clinical Mental Health Therapist and Licensed Professional Counselor in Mississippi with over 8 years of experience working as a therapist and supportive counselor. I have a Master's degree in Mental Health Counseling, and I have spent a majority of my professional career working in a community mental health setting with ages 3 all the way up to retirement age. I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also have spent a large portion of my professional career working with clients that have experienced traumatic events and various types of abuse. These are not the only areas where I have spent my work, but it does scrape the surface. I also enjoy working with college aged students, those going through transitional changes in their life such as career changes, divorce, relocating, and etc. I also have been successful in helping new mothers, postpartum depression and anxiety, and those experiencing fertility issues. My counseling style is warm and interactive, and I believe that I am very supportive. I have been told that I am very laid back and while others resonate with that type of personality, others need and want more structure. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach to therapy is eclectic, person-centered, and solution-focused. I believe you are the expert of your own life. I'm just here to help guide you in a direction that will lead you to the best quality of life possible. I pull from various approaches to tailor treatment specifically for you. Approaches include cognitive behavior therapy, trauma-informed care, motivational interviewing, family systems, etc. I value your role in working with me as a team, through connections to obtain the best quality of life possible. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you. I look forward to working with you!

With 21 years spent as a Community Support Specialist and nearly 5 years as a Therapist, I have a deep, practical understanding of what it takes to find stability and joy when facing depression, anxiety, grief, trauma, mood incongruities, and psychosis.

Find a therapist near you in Clinton, Mississippi
Finding a therapist near you in Clinton, Mississippi starts with matching to a licensed professional who fits your needs, schedule, and goals. Mississippi is home to people with diverse mental health needs across urban, suburban, and rural communities, which can make it challenging to find care. BetterHelp connects you with a licensed therapist through tailored matching, so you can begin care from home or wherever works for you.
The network includes over 30,000 licensed therapists globally, and over 4 million people have used BetterHelp to find support through online therapy. During matching, 93% of user preferences are met, which helps you connect with a therapist suited to what you are looking for. Whether you are searching for help with anxiety, trauma, affordable or insurance covered therapy, weekend or flexible scheduling, or virtual sessions, you can find a therapist and get started when you are ready.
Why work with a licensed therapist near you?
Working with a licensed therapist near you gives you access to professional mental health support from someone trained to help you understand and manage what you are going through. A licensed therapist can offer evidence-based approaches, a steady space to talk, and guidance tailored to your situation. In Mississippi, online therapy can make that care more accessible, since sessions happen from home or wherever you are, without the need to travel to an office. This can help if your schedule is full, if travel is difficult, or if you simply prefer a more discreet setting. You can learn more about what a therapist does on the therapist role page.
Online therapy can be especially helpful for people living across Mississippi, where access to in-person mental health care may vary by location.
What concerns can therapists help with?
Therapists can help with a wide range of concerns, including anxiety and stress, depression, trauma and PTSD, self-esteem and identity, people-pleasing and fear of rejection, insomnia and racing thoughts, workplace stress and burnout, substance use, parenting and co-parenting stress, grief and loss, and relationship and family challenges. Therapists on BetterHelp may draw on approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), depending on your needs and goals.
