About Jessica Shook

Jessica Shook is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Washington with 15 years of experience in the mental health field. She focuses on helping people recover from trauma and abuse, process grief, build self-esteem, and navigate career and life transitions. Her work also addresses a wide range of related concerns including mood disorders, postpartum depression, substance use, chronic pain and illness, attachment and family-of-origin issues, isolation and loneliness, and challenges faced by first responders and older adults.

She uses client-centered therapy to create a supportive, empathetic space where clients can explore their experiences and priorities.

Jessica brings a trauma-informed focus to her practice and aims to help clients name repeated patterns, make sense of difficult experiences, and build more adaptive ways of relating to themselves and others. She works with people across a spectrum of life challenges, from acute crisis to longer-term recovery and growth.

Could remote therapy be a good fit for you?

Many people ask whether online therapy can make a meaningful difference. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and major life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions, and it is widely used as an accessible care option.

One of the main strengths of remote therapy is flexibility. People can connect with therapists in the format that best fits their needs and schedules - through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or messaging. This flexibility can make it easier to maintain regular sessions around work, family, or mobility limitations.

Licensed professionals provide care using a range of therapeutic approaches that can be adapted to remote formats. If someone wants a different therapeutic fit, they can switch to another therapist at any time. Considering the types of concerns, personal preferences for communication, and practical scheduling needs can help determine whether online therapy is a suitable option.
