Getting to know Jessica Whittle

Hello and welcome to my practice. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor and National Certified Counselor with experience working with a variety of populations. I enjoy providing virtual therapy to extend the reach of my expertise throughout the state of Virginia. My approach I am trained in both EMDR and Trauma-Focused CBT which are used with adult and child populations with a history of trauma. However, in my experience, I have found that many of the techniques used in EMDR are beneficial for clients with numerous mental health conditions that may not involve trauma such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, eating disorders, OCD, etc. I have consistently received positive feedback from my clients when using this approach. Apart from trauma therapies, CBT has been my most frequently used treatment approach as it is an approved evidenced-based approach used for a wide variety of conditions, including by not limited to, trauma, anxiety, depression, psychosis-related disorders, and personality disorders. My focus Clients who are often a good fit for my treatment approach are those who are able to identify their personal goals for therapy and those who are open to trying new coping techniques outside of the session. My communication style I make my clients the center of my attention in all sessions. I lean towards open and clear communication while also actively listening and providing empathy and validation throughout our discussions. My journey to mental healthcare I received a Master of Science in Counseling from Capella University and a Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Virginia Commonwealth University. My journey into the counseling profession came about when I realized the major shortage of providers in my area and the significant need for mental health services. I have always enjoyed listening and helping others as well as stretching my professional muscles through continued education and training.
