About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Temple is a clinical rehabilitation neuropsychologist who practices in Virginia. She brings 12 years of experience helping people cope with stress, anxiety, sleep problems, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges.
She emphasizes a calm, practical approach so people can take small steps forward. Her work often addresses chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, memory and concentration concerns, and challenges that follow stroke. She helps people talk through symptoms that affect daily life and makes space for honest feelings.
Background and approach
Sessions are grounded in real-world strategies rather than clinical jargon. Therapy sessions use approaches such as cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness tools to change unhelpful patterns and ease worrying thoughts. She also draws on acceptance and commitment ideas to help people clarify what matters to them and build routines that support those values.
Dialectical behavior strategies are used when stronger emotion regulation skills are needed. Dr. Temple aims to create an open, nonjudgmental setting where thoughts and feelings can be shared.
She works with each person to set practical goals and to build skills that fit daily life. Progress is paced to individual needs and priorities. Her background in neuropsychology informs how she addresses thinking, memory, and concentration problems alongside emotional symptoms.
Sessions focus on clear tools and doable changes so people can manage symptoms and feel more in control of everyday tasks.
Evidence-informed approaches and online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying personal values and committing to small, meaningful actions. It can help people who feel stuck by shifting attention toward what matters rather than fighting every uncomfortable thought. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that keep anxiety and sleep problems active.Finding the right approach is part of the process. The therapist will work with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, daily routine, and what feels workable. This is a collaborative effort where plans are adjusted as skills are practiced and feedback is shared.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules and preferences. Video lets people use visual cues and more extended sessions, phone can be easier when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or live chat can be a convenient way to have shorter check-ins or ongoing skill practice between sessions. These options aim to make care more accessible and easier to fit into a busy life.
