How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Jessica combines client-centered counseling with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help people manage anxiety, trauma reactions, and relationship difficulty. Client-centered work means the conversation centers on the person’s experience and goals while the therapist listens and reflects. Cognitive behavioral therapy breaks down thinking and behavior patterns that keep problems going and offers practical exercises to change them. Dialectical behavior therapy teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, tolerating distress, and improving communication.Choosing the right approach is collaborative. Jessica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and what feels most useful, then adapt techniques over time. That means you can try different strategies and keep the ones that help most while dropping what doesn't fit.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which make it easier to schedule around work, school, or caregiving. Video lets you work face to face when helpful. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can be a good option for shorter check-ins. Live chat and text messaging are useful for quick reflections, tracking progress, and steady support between meetings.
