About Jessica Barry
Jessica Barry is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) practicing in Northeast Tennessee. As an LCSW she is trained and licensed to provide clinical social work services, helping individuals navigate emotional and life challenges through evidence-informed care.
She favors a person-centered approach that places the therapeutic relationship at the heart of treatment.

Jessica works with a wide range of life stressors, including anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship and family concerns, addictions, and parenting challenges. She has specialized training supporting mothers who experience perinatal mood and anxiety disorders and brings particular attention to issues such as abandonment, body image, caregiver stress, chronic illness, and family-of-origin dynamics.
Across sessions Jessica aims to help people explore their experiences, put feelings into words, and develop practical strategies for moving forward. Her approach blends empathy, clinical skill, and collaborative problem-solving to support recovery and meaningful change.

Approaches That Guide Online Care
Jessica draws on client-centered therapy, attachment-based ideas, and cognitive behavioral techniques to shape online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client's priorities lead the pace and goals of treatment - this approach supports issues like self-esteem, life transitions, and relationship concerns. Attachment-based work explores how early relationships shape current patterns and helps people develop more secure ways of connecting - it can be useful for trauma, abandonment concerns, and family-of-origin problems. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) offers structured tools to identify and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica collaborates with each person to determine which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences, making adjustments as progress unfolds. This collaborative stance helps ensure therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online therapy with Jessica uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility and access. These options allow clients to schedule care around work, family, and other responsibilities, maintain continuity during life changes, and choose the mode of communication that feels most comfortable.
