About Jessica
Jessica Crume is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who offers straightforward, practical therapy. She brings a calm, down-to-earth style and focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, mood problems, and life changes. Sessions aim to be collaborative and solution-oriented so people leave with usable steps they can try between meetings.
She earned a master's degree in social work from Indiana University School of Social Work and has seven years of professional experience.
Background and approach
Her background includes work in juvenile criminal justice, school-based therapy, and community mental health settings. That range has given her experience with common struggles like parenting stress, workplace issues, and coping after trauma. In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with cognitive behavioral tools and solution-focused planning.
She listens for what matters most, then helps craft small experiments and new ways of thinking that reduce symptoms and improve day-to-day functioning. Mindfulness and motivational techniques are also used when helpful to build awareness and sustain change. She supports people navigating relationship tensions, family problems, parenting challenges, ADHD-related struggles, and career or life-purpose questions.
Her approach emphasizes the person’s strengths and practical steps over long lists of theory. Jessica works with adults and young adults who want clear strategies and steady support while they make changes. She communicates plainly and creates space for realistic goals, whether someone needs short-term coaching or longer therapeutic work.
Clients based in Indiana and beyond can schedule sessions that fit their routines, using a mix of call and messaging formats to make therapy manageable.
How Jessica's Approaches Work Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s goals and priorities and starts with careful listening to what matters most. It helps people feel heard while they identify changes they want to make. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into thought and behavior patterns and teaches concrete exercises to reduce anxiety, depression, and mood swings.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about their concerns, goals, and daily routines and then suggest techniques to try. Together they adjust methods over time so the plan fits the client’s schedule and preferences.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a fuller interaction is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, coaching-style support, or following up on between-session tasks. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or caregiving schedules and to use the style of contact that feels most manageable.
