About Jessica

She emphasizes straightforward emotional understanding and hands-on strategies. Sessions focus on naming feelings, spotting unhelpful patterns, and trying small changes that fit daily life.
Background and approach
Jessica uses tools from cognitive behavioral work, dialectical skills, mindfulness, and motivational approaches to guide that process. Jessica has 11 years of professional experience working in mental health settings. That background shapes a practical, down-to-earth style.
She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors suggestions to those goals. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns including relationship and intimacy issues, parenting stress, eating and sleeping problems, ADHD, trauma and abuse, and substance use challenges. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, attachment questions, body image, guilt and shame, and communication or control struggles.
Sessions are offered in English and are delivered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging. Jessica works with clients to set achievable steps and to build skills that can be used between sessions. She aims to be a steady partner as people work toward clearer choices and better daily coping.
How her approaches fit into online therapy
Client-centered work focuses on listening and building a trusting relationship. It helps people feel heard and shape goals that matter to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical skills to change unhelpful patterns; it is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, or DBT, adds skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness, which can be helpful for anger, impulsivity, and relationship struggles.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, daily life, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them over time based on what the client finds useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video calls are good for face-to-face conversation and practicing skills. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging suit brief check-ins, journaling between sessions, or people who prefer typing to speaking. These options let clients fit therapy into work, family, and busy schedules while working through real concerns.
