Hello! I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with a Master of Social Work that is passionate about supporting women and teens who have not felt like themselves or have not found their voice within due to trauma, depression, anxiety, family and relationship issues, and life stressors. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel heard, understood, and genuinely supported. With nine years experience, my work focuses on helping you manage those concerns, as I have worked with multiple populations including those in child welfare, immigration, children, teens, and adults.
Good for you! You’re here because you’re having difficulty in a relationship; or struggling with depression or anxiety and have decided you’re tired of feeling stressed and want to be better able to cope. You deserve to live your life to the fullest and not allow new - or longstanding issues to keep you from reaching your full potential. I focus on building a trusting relationship which will allow you to explore the changes you want to make to improve the quality of your life. I have successfully helped many clients reach their full potential by engaging in therapy treating YOU as a person, and not a disorder.
Hello, and welcome. My name is Jessica Banford, and I am a Licensed Master Social Worker / Clinical Social Worker with experience providing support in both emergency and outpatient mental health settings. I am passionate about helping individuals navigate life’s challenges with compassion, understanding, and practical tools for change. I earned my Master’s degree in Social Work from Indiana Wesleyan University and my professional background includes working in hospital emergency departments, where I have completed behavioral health assessments, crisis intervention, and care coordination for individuals experiencing acute mental health concerns. This experience has strengthened my ability to remain calm, supportive, and solution-focused during difficult moments. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing depression, anxiety, suicidal ideation, emotional dysregulation, and life stressors such as relationship difficulties, financial stress, and transitions. I also worked a outpatient community health center providing therapy to all populations including all ages. I also have experience supporting adolescents and young adults, as well as collaborating with families and support systems. My approach to therapy is client-centered and strengths-based. I often incorporate techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on building coping skills, improving emotional regulation, and increasing overall resilience. I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where you can feel heard, respected, and supported. I look forward to working together to help you reach your goals and improve your overall well-being.
I genuinely care about their journey and understand that healing isn’t always linear. I combine compassion with clinical expertise to help individuals feel understood, supported, and confident in reaching their goals. Whether we’re managing anxiety, mood changes, or life transitions, I’m here to walk alongside you at your own pace

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Mental Health Therapist in Jackson, MI
Searching for therapists in Jackson starts with finding someone whose experience matches what you want to work on. Therapists may support people living with anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, grief, or work stress. As you compare options, look for specialties and approaches that fit your needs, such as cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, eye movement desensitization and reprocessing, or trauma-informed care. A therapist’s bio can also show how they describe their style, structure sessions, and work with concerns like yours.
In a smaller city like Jackson, nearby in-person options may be more limited than in larger Michigan markets. Virtual therapy can expand your choices while still connecting you with a therapist licensed in Michigan. As you narrow your search, consider appointment availability, whether the therapist is accepting new patients, session format, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Reading profiles before booking can help you compare communication style, areas of focus, and what to expect in the first session.
Therapy in Jackson can be a significant investment without insurance, and using in-network coverage is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs. Headway helps you search for therapists who match your needs, confirm your insurance, and see an estimated out-of-pocket cost before you book. You can browse therapist profiles, compare virtual and in-person availability, and book directly when you’re ready.
