Background and approach
She uses cognitive behavioral therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and develop new habits. Dialectical behavior therapy techniques are used when emotions feel overwhelming. Sessions focus on clear goals and small, doable changes.
Conversations are shaped around what matters most to the client, such as improving sleep, reducing panic, or handling career stress. She pays attention to patterns like attachment or codependency that often make relationships harder. With ten years of experience, Jessica works with a wide range of concerns including trauma and abuse, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.
She also supports people dealing with blended family issues, parenting stress, body image, and substance use. Her approach is adaptable and practical. People who choose Jessica can expect a collaborative process.
She helps set realistic goals, teaches coping skills, and reviews progress along the way. The aim is to build tools clients can use outside of sessions to feel more steady and capable.
Approaches that guide online work and change
Jessica often uses client-centered therapy to focus on listening and building a collaborative relationship; this approach helps people feel heard and clarifies what matters most to them. She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and practice new behaviors that reduce anxiety and improve mood. Dialectical behavior therapy is used when strong emotions or intense reactions get in the way of daily life because it teaches specific skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to match methods to goals and preferences. Decisions are made together, and approaches can be adjusted as progress is tracked over time.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people see nonverbal cues when that matters. Phone calls can work when bandwidth is limited or for a shorter check-in. Live chat or text messaging can fit brief updates, coping prompts, or times when typing feels easier. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and keep momentum between sessions.
