Today we’d like to introduce you to Jessica Glynn.
Hi Jessica, we’re thrilled to have a chance to learn your story today. So, before we get into specifics, maybe you can briefly walk us through how you got to where you are today?
I’ve always known I wanted to help people—ever since I was young. I remember in seventh grade, one of my classmates told me, “You’re going to be a therapist one day.” That moment stuck with me. Even then, I was the friend who wanted others to know they weren’t alone, that I had their back, and that I would always be a safe space for them. That’s still the heart of my work today.
My journey into the mental and behavioral health field started with respite work, supporting children with behavioral diagnoses. From there, I trained in ABA therapy and worked with children on the autism spectrum. Eventually, I joined Child Protective Services, which gave me a deeper view into family systems and trauma. But after a few years, I made a big move from New York to South Carolina.
Knowing I needed flexibility, I took a remote position with Cigna’s behavioral health department—helping clients understand their mental health benefits and connecting them with care. After ending my role with Cigna to continue to pursue my goals, I started my internship, officially stepping back onto the path to becoming a therapist.
I earned my bachelor’s degree in 2014 while raising my first child. Motherhood became my full-time focus, but I stayed connected to the behavioral health world. I had my second child in 2017—the same year I lost my brother to suicide. That loss changed me deeply. I had seen him struggle for years. I tried to help, to support him, but he wasn’t ready to receive that help. After grieving and healing over time, I felt called back—more clearly than ever—to the work of helping others feel seen, supported, and not alone.
I returned to graduate school in 2021, before welcoming my third child. After a short break to focus on family, I completed my master’s degree in 2024 and became a licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Associate.
Now, through my work—whether in therapy sessions or systemic consulting—I’m still that same person who wants people to feel safe, understood, and never alone in their journey.
I’m sure it wasn’t obstacle-free, but would you say the journey has been fairly smooth so far?
Definitely not a smooth road—but a meaningful one. There were many challenges, especially balancing school, parenting three children, and being a present partner. My husband works in HVAC, often on demanding commercial jobs like hospitals. He’d get called at all hours, and there were many times I was home alone juggling it all—classes, internships, diapers, dinner, and everything in between. It tested my limits more than once.
I also gave myself permission to take breaks when I needed them—something I remind clients to do. I tried to take my own advice and listen to my body, even when the pace of life didn’t make that easy.
But one of the most personal and painful struggles was continuing my education while still grieving the loss of my brother to suicide. Certain courses touched deeply on themes of trauma and loss, and they brought up things I hadn’t fully processed. I’ll never forget the residency exercise where we had to create a “trigger client” as a way to assess our own emotional readiness. That experience was incredibly revealing. It showed me just how much healing I still had to do with my brother’s death.
There were tears, pauses, and moments of doubt—but there was also clarity and purpose. Every struggle deepened my empathy and gave me a clearer sense of why I do this work: to help people feel less alone, more understood, and empowered to heal.
Alright, so let’s switch gears a bit and talk business. What should we know?
Indigo eTherapy LLC is more than a therapy practice—it’s a sanctuary for healing, connection, and personal growth. Rooted in compassion and lived experience, my mission is to help individuals, couples, and families feel seen, supported, and empowered in their healing journey.
At Indigo eTherapy, I specialize in trauma-informed care, grief and loss, anxiety, relationship struggles, and generational healing. I work from a systemic lens, which means I look at the whole picture—how our environments, relationships, and personal histories shape who we are and how we heal. I also blend mindfulness, somatic practices, and experiential techniques into my sessions to help clients connect not just mentally, but emotionally and physically as well.
What sets me apart is that I meet people where they are—with warmth, humor, and a deep respect for their story. I don’t believe in “fixing” people. I believe in walking with them as they remember their worth and reclaim their voice.
I’m proud that the Indigo eTherapy brand is both soft and bold—a reflection of how healing can be gentle, yet powerful. Whether through one-on-one sessions, couples work, workplace consulting, or my podcast The Indigo Lounge, my aim is to make healing accessible, relatable, and rooted in real life.
I want people to know that therapy doesn’t have to feel clinical or distant. It can feel human, safe, affirming—and yes, even a little bit magical. That’s what Indigo eTherapy is all about.
Networking and finding a mentor can have such a positive impact on one’s life and career. Any advice?
Finding a mentor can feel daunting at first, but I’ve learned that the right connections often come when you’re genuinely aligned with your values and open to learning. For me, mentorship came through the process of finding my internship. I was fortunate enough to land at Synergy eTherapy, and that decision turned out to be one of the most meaningful steps in my professional journey.
Through that experience, I connected with Dr. Lisa Lovelace, and Kayce Bragg, who served as my supervisors. They’ve both become incredible mentors—and beyond that, a true source of support, guidance, and encouragement. What started as a professional relationship evolved into something that has deeply shaped how I show up as a therapist today.
My advice for anyone looking for a mentor or networking opportunities is to lead with curiosity and authenticity. Don’t be afraid to reach out, ask questions, and express genuine interest in what others are doing. Be clear about your goals, but also be open to learning from unexpected places. Sometimes mentorship doesn’t come with a formal title—it can come from shared values, meaningful conversations, and people who see potential in you even before you see it in yourself.
Networking isn’t about collecting contacts—it’s about building relationships. When you approach it that way, it becomes less intimidating and much more rewarding.
