Jessica Dougherty

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) providing telehealth services to individuals throughout the state of Oregon. I earned my Master's Degree in Clinical Rehabilitation Counseling from The University of Texas Rio Grande Valley and am passionate about helping individuals navigate life's challenges with greater confidence, self-awareness, and resilience.

 

I work with children, teens, young adults, and adults from diverse backgrounds, including POC, experiencing anxiety, stress, relationship challenges, emotional overwhelm, life transitions, self-esteem concerns, family conflict, trauma, and difficulties with communication and boundaries. Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck in patterns of overthinking, struggling to manage intense emotions, or trying to better understand themselves and their relationships.

 

My therapeutic approach is warm, collaborative, and tailored to each individual's unique needs. I integrate evidence-based approaches including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Mindfulness-Based Therapy, Reality Therapy, Systemic Therapy, Emotion-Focused interventions, Existential Therapy, and Play Therapy when developmentally appropriate. Together, we will explore the thoughts, emotions, and experiences influencing your current challenges while building practical skills that support meaningful and lasting change.

 

As a counselor, my priority is creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space where you feel comfortable being your authentic self. Beginning therapy can feel intimidating, but you don't have to navigate life's challenges alone. Whether you're seeking healing, personal growth, or simply a place to process what you're experiencing, I look forward to walking alongside you and supporting you throughout your journey.
