About Jessica
Jessica Palmer is a licensed independent clinical social worker (LICSW) based in Massachusetts. She works with people struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, parenting pressures, and depression. Jessica focuses on practical steps that make day-to-day life feel more manageable.
She views each person as the expert on their own story and looks for strengths to build on. Sessions are collaborative and direct. Conversations aim to clarify what matters most and identify small changes that add up over time.
Background and approach
Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address attachment concerns, codependency, control issues, and patterns linked to avoidant or dependent personality traits. She also supports people dealing with divorce and separation, blended family challenges, and the aftermath of infidelity. Her experience includes helping clients cope with intense emotions like emptiness, guilt, shame, and impulsivity.
She also has background working with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder (DMDD) and situations involving domestic violence, always emphasizing safety and concrete coping skills. Practical options for connecting include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Jessica uses these formats to fit therapy into busy lives and to keep work focused and actionable.
Approaches that guide online sessions
Jessica uses evidence-based techniques that focus on practical change. One approach helps people spot patterns in relationships and behavior and replace unhelpful habits with healthier responses; this can be useful for attachment issues, codependency, or control problems. Another approach focuses on building coping skills for strong emotions, teaching short strategies to manage anxiety, impulsivity, guilt, and shame so daily life becomes easier to handle. Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with clients about their goals, try methods that fit their needs, and adjust the plan together over time. That collaborative process helps match techniques to what a person actually wants to change. Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when helpful, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging lets people reflect and respond on their own time. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and to keep progress steady.Questions people ask
