Jessica Yetto, LPC

Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Pennsylvania. She brings 25 years of experience in mental health settings and focuses on practical ways to change thoughts and everyday habits that make life harder.

Her recent work has been in a jail setting where she completed intakes, evaluated for suicide ideation, and provided crisis intervention. She also worked directly with officers to help them understand people with serious mental health diagnoses and offered counseling after critical incidents. Earlier roles included transitional housing, mobile therapy, behavioral specialist consulting, and supervising a family support program.

Because of that environment, she often uses a solution-focused approach that emphasizes coping skills and immediate, usable strategies. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness techniques when those fit a person's needs. Jessica collaborates with medical prescribers such as CRNPs and physician assistants when medication or physical health concerns arise.

Clients can expect straightforward conversations and concrete tools to manage stress, anxiety, mood issues, sleep, and addictive behaviors. Jessica is interested in working beyond the jail setting so she can offer longer-term work and a wider range of therapeutic options. She welcomes people who want practical changes to daily habits and thinking patterns.

Sessions are conducted in English and reflect her background supporting people with complex mental health concerns. Prospective clients should confirm current session options before scheduling.

How CBT, DBT, and Mindfulness translate to online work

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify and change unhelpful thoughts and habits, practical steps that can reduce anxiety and low mood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy often includes simple homework and real-life experiments to try between sessions.

She also uses Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills to help with emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. DBT-style skills teach clear tools for handling intense feelings and impulsive reactions. Mindfulness Therapy is another approach she draws on to help people stay present, notice thought patterns, and reduce rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. She will work collaboratively with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and daily life. That may mean focusing on coping skills at first, then adding other strategies over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, offer shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Many people find remote sessions helpful for practicing skills in their normal routines and keeping therapy consistent around work or family commitments.
