Background and approach
Sessions often include simple, actionable practices clients can try between meetings. Jessica has helped people facing addictions, low self-esteem, depression, and major life changes. She also supports those dealing with compassion fatigue and issues around body image, control, and impulsivity.
Her work includes concerns common in LGBT and women’s issues and social anxiety and phobia. Communication is a central focus in her sessions, helping people speak their needs and set boundaries. Jessica tailors each plan to the person in front of her rather than using a one-size-fits-all method.
She encourages small steps that add up to meaningful change. Clients can expect a collaborative process where goals are revisited and adjusted. Jessica uses straightforward language and practical tools so therapy fits into daily life.
She practices in Tennessee and conducts sessions in English.
How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on helping people notice their thoughts and choose actions that match their values rather than getting stuck in worry. It is useful for anxiety and decision-related stress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks patterns of unhelpful thinking and behavior using practical exercises and homework to reduce symptoms and build coping skills.Finding the right approach is a joint process. Jessica will talk about your goals and try different tools to see what fits. Together you can adjust the plan over time based on what feels helpful and what produces progress.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to match different needs. Video lets you work face to face when discussion and nonverbal cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier during busy days or when lower bandwidth is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging support brief check-ins, ongoing skill work, and flexibility between longer appointments. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while using the approaches described above.
