    About Jessica

    Jessica Crume is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Indiana. She uses a practical, person-centered approach and aims to help people take the next steps when life feels overwhelming. Her style is straightforward and focused on building on strengths to move forward.

    She has seven years of clinical experience and earned a master of social work from Indiana University School of Social Work. Her background includes work in juvenile criminal justice, school-based therapy, and community mental health settings. That experience informs a flexible, down-to-earth approach in sessions.

    Jessica leans on Client-Centered Therapy and Solution-Focused Therapy while drawing heavily from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and mindfulness techniques to support change and awareness. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals, small steps, and practical skills clients can use between meetings.

    Common concerns she helps people address include stress, anxiety, depression, relationship and family issues, parenting strain, ADHD-related challenges, trauma and abuse, anger, and self-esteem. She also works on career questions, life transitions, and compassion fatigue.

    In a typical session Jessica listens closely, helps clarify goals, and collaborates on reachable steps. She encourages clients to notice strengths already present and to practice skills that fit daily life. People who prefer a direct, supportive style often find her approach approachable and useful.

  2. How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

    Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's perspective. It helps people feel heard and shapes goals around what matters to them. Motivational Interviewing uses open questions and reflective listening to help people find their own motivation for change and is useful for goals like behavior change or increasing follow-through. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors connect and teaches practical skills to handle anxiety, low mood, and stress.

    Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs and preferences and together decide what to try first. That collaborative process can include trying techniques from different approaches and adjusting plans as progress unfolds.

    Session formats are not detailed in this profile, so confirm the current online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and help people join from a familiar location. Licensed professionals deliver similar therapeutic methods online as they do in person, with a focus on practical tools, goal-setting, and homework that fits everyday life.
