About Jessica
Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who are facing depression, anxiety, trauma, relationship strain, and parenting challenges. Jessica aims to meet each person where they are and work alongside them to build practical coping skills.
Her approach is down-to-earth and goal oriented. She draws from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change thought patterns that get in the way.
Background and approach
She also uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people clarify values and take meaningful action even when feelings are difficult. Jessica brings skills from Dialectical Behavior Therapy when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are needed. She also includes elements of Motivational Interviewing to help people find their own reasons to change.
For those interested in deeper meaning, Jungian Therapy is available to explore personal narratives and symbolic themes. Clients commonly seek help for issues such as grief, stress, ADHD, anger, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. Jessica also supports people navigating gender dysphoria, sexuality questions, body image, and attachment concerns.
She works with people dealing with compassion fatigue and the emotional toll of caregiving. Sessions focus on clear goals, practical tools, and steady progress. Jessica believes therapy is a partnership - she listens, offers options, and adjusts strategies to fit each person.
The aim is to help people feel more capable and to move toward a life that matters to them.
Therapeutic approaches and online working
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot patterns of thinking that fuel hard emotions and then practice different, more helpful responses. CBT often helps with anxiety, depression, and everyday stress by turning insights into concrete steps. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, which focuses on clarifying what matters to you and taking committed action even when feelings are uncomfortable. ACT can help with long-term goals and dealing with difficult thoughts and urges.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with you about your goals and preferences, and together you will choose or mix methods that feel right. That collaborative process means plans can change as needs shift and progress is made.
Online therapy offers several practical benefits for her clients. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when a full session is helpful. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth or being on camera is an issue. Live chat and text-based messaging are useful for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when a shorter touchpoint fits a busy day. These options make it easier to fit therapy into life and keep momentum between appointments.
