About Jasmine

Jasmine Simmons is a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor (LCMHC) in North Carolina with six years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, addictions, trauma and abuse, self-esteem, depression, relationship concerns, family matters, coping with life changes, and compassion fatigue. Jasmine often addresses guilt and shame as part of that work.

Her approach draws on practical, evidence-informed methods. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to support a person’s own goals and motivation.

Jasmine commonly helps people who are managing workplace pressure, social anxiety, or the aftermath of traumatic events. She also works with individuals facing postpartum depression, substance use concerns, and communication problems. Sessions look at real-life patterns, not labels, and focus on clear skills to manage distress.

In sessions she emphasizes straightforward techniques that can be practiced between meetings. That can include values-based actions from ACT, thought-behavior experiments from CBT, and short solution-focused steps to address immediate problems. She pays attention to culture and context when discussing guilt and forgiveness.

People who choose her often want concrete tools and a collaborative process. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session through the platform. Costs vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How her approaches guide online work

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps in that direction, even when guilt or painful thoughts are present. It emphasizes noticing thoughts without getting stuck in them and choosing values-driven actions.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying thought patterns that keep distress alive and testing new ways of thinking and behaving. It is commonly used for anxiety, panic, social fears, and low mood by practicing short exercises between sessions.

Client-Centered Therapy centers the person’s own goals and perspective, with the therapist supporting decisions rather than directing them. This approach can be useful when someone needs time to sort through feelings around forgiveness, identity, or family expectations.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process. Jasmine will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is revisited as work progresses to make adjustments when something isn’t helping.

The practical benefits of online sessions include easier fitting therapy into a busy schedule and trying brief check-ins that work around work or caregiving. The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can support regular skill practice and shorter between-session tasks that fit into everyday life.
