About Jessica Eddins

I am a Professional Clinical Counselor licensed in Virginia. I am also a Certified Substance Abuse Counselor (CSAC) and a Registered Peer Recovery Specialist (RPRS) with years of experience working with clients with a wide range of concerns including anxiety, relationship issues, addiction, trauma, and family problems. I’ve also guided people on how to reach goals, make important life decisions, and helped them achieve their goals for a greater purpose for their lives.
My counseling style is client-centered, collaborative, Eye movement desensitization and reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). I believe helping you process your emotions in a safe nonjudgmental environment, will allow you to feel more in control and safer before we get into heaver topics.
My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, motivational interviewing, person centered. I am EMDR certified. Each person is unique and so is your treatment. We will work together to formulate a treatment plan based on your needs. Some of the techniques I’ve used in the past are journaling, homework assignments, mindfulness practices, worksheets, book referrals, and videos.
I look forward to getting to know you better and helping you to achieve your goals! My hours are Mon-Thurs 6am-1:30pm and Fri 6am-11am.

“Jessica is a very understanding counselor. Very personable and offers great advice in many areas!”

“Absolutely amazing! She has been my therapist for a couple of weeks now and she is the most outgoing therapist I've ever had, she makes me feel seen and like I can talk about anything. 10/10!!”

“Jessica is awesome! I feel so comfortable when I speak to her. She helps me to assess myself internally; and to recognized all of accomplishments small or big; I didn't do this before. I can't believe its be almost a year. Contacting Betterhelp and connecting with Jessica was one of the best decisions that I made last year. Thank you, Jessica, for listening and challenging me. I am grateful.”

“confident, skilled and got the empathy gene when she rolled out.”

“Jessica, is a good listener, provides objective opinions, is thoughtful, direct and sincere.”

“Funny and informative”

“She is professional and easy to talk to.”

“I connected with Jessica on our first session and our relationship is already being built into one I feel I can trust. She listens and provides helpful feedback and solutions that I can actually grasp and implement. She is genuinely invested in helping me and she has a true gift. I would recommend her to anyone dealing with narcissistic abuse and recovery and domestic abuse cases.”

“The Therapist I am working with is professional and kind. Listens, asks questions . This is a new relationship, we have spoken twice. I am learning more about my self through our work.”

“Jessica is a wonderful therapist who listens and actually seems to care about her patients. I would highly recommend her to anyone.”

“She is amazing! Very passionate about helping and is informative. She's my spirit animal!”

“Jessica is attentive, thoughtful, and empathetic. she is able to make me feel seen and offers valuable insight in her advice.”

“Jessica is the epitome of an excellent and caring therapist; Jessica listens to me and challenges my narrow point of views of how to interact with my life obtacles. Most importantly, I love Jessica's authenticity as a therapist; you can tell her heart is in the right place; and she loves to help others - it is her divine purpose. I must say, she keeps it real i.e., she provides real life experiences that has resonated and helped me on so many levels in my life. I love it! Jessica was exactly what I needed to start my self healing and self care journey. Better Help matched me with the best certified therapist. My only regret, I didn't get on BetterHelp earlier so I could talk to her sooner. I feel so comfortable with her. I appreciate her very-very much. I am grateful.”

“I’m just very grateful. Aside from one other occasion on 2006, becoming a client of Jessica’s is the first time I have received mental health treatment on my own volition — all other times have been forced. To have come in contact with a therapist that I’m choosing to see who also happens to be very attentive, warm, understanding, and genuinely wants to help me is just a lot of good all in one, which is not something I am accustomed to, but I am still very grateful.”

“Jessica has been incredibly supportive, always taking the time to listen and work through things with me. She's open about sharing her own experiences and the ways she navigated difficult situations, which has been a huge help in guiding me. This also helps me feel more comfortable in sharing my struggles with her.”

These reviews represent a few of the most recent positive reviews from the therapist's clients on BetterHelp. Some people's experience may be different.
