Jessica Cullen

Jessica Cullen is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Wisconsin with 16 years of experience helping people who feel stuck. She works with stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, depression, and coping with life changes. She also focuses on communication problems, life purpose, and building self-love.

Jessica encourages honest reflection about the patterns that keep someone repeating the same problems. She helps people trace where those patterns came from and looks at how thoughts, body responses, and relationships shape everyday reactions. Sessions combine practical skills with attention to what happened in the past so change is grounded in real understanding.

Her background includes clinical supervision, counselor education, and research alongside years of direct practice. Jessica uses neuroscience-informed ideas and evidence-based therapeutic techniques to explain why reactions feel automatic and how they can shift over time.

Work in sessions is direct but supportive. Jessica offers clear feedback, practical tools, and sometimes gentle challenges to interrupt stuck patterns. The focus is on identifying small, workable changes that fit into daily life rather than grand promises of sudden transformation.

People often come to her when they are unsure what comes next after a change, tired of repeating the same arguments or behaviors, or wanting to reconnect with what matters. She helps them notice the roots of their struggles and take manageable steps toward different ways of living.

Evidence-based approaches and online sessions

Jessica uses neuroscience-informed ideas alongside evidence-based therapeutic techniques to explain and change patterns. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to identify unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors; it helps with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Motivational Interviewing (MI) focuses on the client’s own reasons for change and can be useful when people are dealing with substance use or mixed feelings about changing a habit.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That choice can change over time as practical tools are tried and adjusted together.

Confirm the session formats offered before booking. When available, online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also lets the therapist and client try tools between meetings and quickly bring real-life situations into sessions for discussion.
