Jessica Smeal, LMHP

Jessica Smeal is an LMHP (Licensed Mental Health Professional) with 16 years of clinical experience who provides therapy for adults in Nebraska. She has worked across a range of care settings, including corrections, long-term co-occurring treatment facilities, and outpatient programs, building skills in supporting people through complex mental health and substance use concerns.

She works with adults ages 19 and older who face mood disorders, personality disorder concerns, drug and alcohol use issues, trauma-related struggles, anxiety, and related challenges such as grief, relationship conflict, and difficulties with self-esteem or life transitions. Her practice also addresses ADHD, bipolar disorder, panic and mood disorders, and behaviors like impulsivity and self-harm when these are part of a person’s presentation.

Jessica’s training includes rational emotive behavior therapy (REBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) for both individual work and skills groups, and EMDR for trauma-focused work. She favors a focused or eclectic approach tailored to each person, recognizing that individuals have unique strengths and needs. Therapy is framed as a collaborative process in which the client guides their course and the therapist offers structure, skills, and support.

Jessica accepts new adult clients and integrates practical strategies with compassionate support to help people move toward clearer coping, healthier relationships, and better functioning in daily life.
