About Rickia

Rickia Jessup-Clowney is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in South Carolina. She focuses on common life struggles like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, depression, and coping with major life changes. She speaks English and brings five years of professional experience to her work. Rickia frames clients as the experts in their own lives and offers support as they take steps toward feeling better.

She starts by listening to what matters most to each person. Sessions focus on practical ways to manage symptoms and build on strengths. She helps people notice patterns, try small changes, and develop skills for handling hard moments. The work is steady and paced to what each client can realistically do.

Rickia pays attention to how past attachment and abandonment issues show up now. She also addresses concerns like caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, and feelings of emptiness or isolation. That lets conversations move from painful moments to clearer goals for day-to-day life.

People who struggle with body image, guilt and shame, or impulsivity can find step-by-step help for those specific problems. She also supports people dealing with family problems, forgiveness, and finding a renewed sense of purpose. Therapy is described in plain terms and focuses on useful changes.

Taking the first step is framed as an act of courage. Rickia aims to be a steady presence while clients try new ways of coping and making choices that fit their lives.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work

Evidence-based techniques aim to give clear tools people can use between sessions. One common approach focuses on building coping skills and symptom management through step-by-step exercises. This work helps with anxiety, stress, and daily routines that feel overwhelming. Another common approach looks at relationships and attachment patterns, helping people notice how old worries shape current reactions and teaching ways to form healthier connections.rr>Finding the best approach is part of the first few sessions. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't helped before. Together they choose methods that match the person's needs and adjust them as progress is made, so the plan stays practical and collaborative.rr>If you are considering online sessions, confirm the exact session formats before booking since the biography does not list specific options. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full in-person visit is hard to schedule. It also lets people use tools learned in therapy in the settings where they actually live and work, which can speed up the process of testing changes in everyday life.
