Rickia Jessup-Clowney

Rickia Jessup-Clowney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina with five years of experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, self-esteem concerns, depression, and challenges coping with life changes. Rickia also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, body image, caregiver stress, and questions about life purpose.

She treats people as the experts on their own stories. Sessions are conversational and focused on practical steps. The aim is to notice strengths that can be used to address current struggles. Short-term strategies and clearer thinking are typical goals in early work.

Rickia listens for patterns that keep problems active, such as control issues, impulsivity, communication problems, or isolation. She helps people name those patterns and try different ways of responding. Work can include addressing painful events like domestic violence, trauma, guilt, or shame.

For those wrestling with relationships in their lives, she attends to attachment and commitment questions without assuming family or couple sessions. She also supports people dealing with caregiver burden and forgiveness concerns. Her approach is steady and practical rather than theoretical.

Sessions are conducted in English. International clients are not accepted. Cost varies with location and uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and a first session is scheduled after selecting the See online therapy options button.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Rickia draws from evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address common struggles. One approach focuses on skills for managing anxiety and stress, teaching practical breathing, grounding, and behavioral steps to reduce overwhelm and improve daily functioning. These techniques help when worry or tension makes it hard to take action.

Another approach targets responses to trauma and painful events by identifying unhelpful patterns that keep symptoms active. Work here can include gradual exposure to feared memories, learning pacing strategies, and building tolerable ways to process emotional material. This helps when past events still shape reactions today.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Rickia will discuss options and help decide which techniques fit the client’s goals, needs, and preferences. That choice is collaborative and may shift as progress is reviewed.

The biography does not list which session formats are offered, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online sessions can make it easier to fit counseling into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Licensed professionals can adapt exercises and homework so they work in everyday settings and schedules.
