Trauma-informed therapy for healing and growth
Start with Jessie ThompsonLicensed · Professional · Cancel Anytime
Jessie Thompson is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Michigan with ten years of experience supporting children, teens, families, and individuals who have experienced trauma, including sexual, physical, spiritual, and emotional abuse.
Her clinical emphasis is on childhood trauma and the ways early adversity affects the developing brain and body. Even into adulthood many people carry an internal sense of an inner child, and when childhood was disrupted this can appear as difficulty forming relationships - with one’s own children, an intimate partner, or close friends - as well as struggles with trust and safety, anxiety, depression, addiction, self-harm, or suicidal thoughts.
Jessie integrates evidence-informed approaches to guide healing, drawing on Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (TF-CBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), Internal Family Systems (IFS), and Expressive Arts. Treatment plans are shaped to reflect each person’s unique experiences and needs rather than following a one-size-fits-all model.
Choosing to work through difficult experiences takes courage, and Jessie views it as an honor to accompany people on that journey toward greater resilience and well-being. She is licensed in Michigan as a Master Social Worker (MI LMSW 6801106986) and brings a decade of clinical experience to her practice.
For many common concerns - including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes - online therapy has been demonstrated to be as effective as traditional in-person care. This modality can support much of the same work as face-to-face sessions for these types of issues.
One major benefit of remote sessions is flexibility. People can connect in the format that suits them best - video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging - which can make it easier to maintain continuity of care and to fit therapy into a busy life.
Therapy offered online is provided by licensed professionals, and individuals are free to switch therapists at any time if they feel a different match would better meet their needs.
