Jessica Philippi

Jessica Philippi is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with 15 years of experience supporting people through stressful and painful life moments. She combines a warm, collaborative manner with practical strategies to help clients feel heard and make steady progress. Jessica often uses creative work alongside talk therapy to help people find new ways to cope and grow.

She came to counseling after training in art therapy and clinical mental health counseling. That early interest in art remains part of her practice; she uses creative exercises when they help clients express feelings that are hard to name. Jessica draws on person-centered methods and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to shape each session around the individual’s needs.

Her practice focuses on stress, anxiety, eating and body-image concerns, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with life changes. She also addresses issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, impulse control, obsessions and compulsions, panic, post-traumatic stress, sexuality, social anxiety, and young adult concerns. Sessions aim to be practical and goal-oriented while respecting each person’s pace.

Jessica emphasizes partnership in therapy. She helps clients set clear goals, try out new skills between sessions, and notice small changes over time. Her style is approachable and down-to-earth, and she seeks to build trust through steady, thoughtful work.

Clients begin by completing a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to the therapist’s availability. Jessica practices in Pennsylvania and offers services in English.

How creative and evidence-based methods work online

Jessica uses art-informed methods alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people process feelings and build skills. Art-informed methods let people use drawing or other creative tasks to express emotions that are hard to put into words, which can be helpful for issues like eating concerns and body image. Evidence-based techniques focus on practical skill-building and problem solving to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address symptoms such as panic or compulsive behaviors.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with each client about goals, try different strategies, and adjust the plan based on what helps. This makes therapy a collaborative process focused on what fits the person’s needs and preferences.

The original biography does not specify session formats, so confirm available online or in-person options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when a full session isn’t needed. It can also let creative exercises be shared visually when appropriate. Ask about format details when you schedule so sessions match your routine and goals.
