About Jessica

Jessica Vanhannegeyn is a Licensed Professional Counselor. She holds a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology and earned a Master of Education and an Education Specialist degree, both in Clinical Mental Health Counseling, all from Clemson University. Jessica's professional experience includes providing therapy in school-based and outpatient settings, working with children, adolescents, young adults, and families. Her training includes components of Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT) and crisis counseling, and her approach draws on techniques from Adlerian Therapy, Reality Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, and Person-Centered Therapy. Although evidence-based practices form the foundation of Jessica's work, she enjoys using creative interventions, interactive activities, visual tools, storytelling, and expressive techniques so that clients can engage in therapy in ways that feel meaningful and approachable. Whether working with children, teens, or adults, Jessica believes creativity can reveal insight, healing, and personal growth that traditional conversation alone may not always reach. Jessica takes a holistic approach to counseling and recognizes the important connection between mind, body, and spirit. Her goal is to help clients not only manage life's challenges but also build resilience, strengthen self-awareness, and create lasting wellness in every area of their lives. Outside the therapy room, a few things stand out about Jessica. Pink is her favorite color, she always wants more books to read, and butterflies have long been her favorite symbol of growth and transformation. A fun fact: Jessica knows American Sign Language (ASL) and has also self-taught British Sign Language (BSL).
