01About Jessica
Jessica O'Connor-Rathbun uses evidence-based therapy to help people manage stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, and trauma. She is a licensed professional counselor - LPC - practicing in Louisiana and aims to make sessions straightforward and useful. Jessica keeps sessions focused on what matters most to the client.
She listens for patterns tied to attachment, abandonment, and family of origin issues. Then she helps clients practice clearer communication and healthier responses to triggers.
Background and approach
Clients bring problems like low self-esteem, guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness. Jessica also supports people facing caregiver strain, first responder stress, impulsivity, codependency, and blended family concerns. Therapy centers on small, practical steps people can try between sessions.
Her work is collaborative and down-to-earth. She helps clients name what feels hard, try new ways of reacting, and build skills for better relationships and daily coping. Sessions balance talking through emotions with concrete skill practice.
Jessica has three years of clinical experience and holds an LPC credential. She offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Getting started begins with a short matching questionnaire and scheduling according to availability.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care
Jessica works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people identify and change unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily behavior by practicing new responses and communication skills. This type of work is useful for commitment concerns, communication problems, and codependency. Another approach centers on processing past hurt and trauma in small, manageable steps so emotions feel less overwhelming and reactions become easier to manage. That method often helps with trauma, abandonment, and family of origin issues.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and which techniques feel like a good fit, then adapt methods over time based on what helps most.
Online options include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions allow face-to-face interaction for skill practice and feedback. Phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, building ideas between sessions, or when typing feels easier than talking. These formats make therapy more flexible for different schedules and needs.
