About Jessica
Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She focuses on practical strategies to reduce stress and anxiety and address mood and addiction concerns. Her style is straightforward and skill-based, aimed at helping people manage day-to-day symptoms and crises.
She spent recent years working inside a jail setting where she completed intakes, evaluated suicide risk, and provided crisis intervention. That role also involved consulting with medical staff and working with officers after difficult incidents.
Background and approach
Earlier work included transitional housing, mobile therapy, behavioral specialist consulting, and supervising a family support program. Because of her environment, she often uses a solution-focused approach that targets immediate coping skills. She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and mindfulness practices to help people change unhelpful thoughts and manage strong emotions.
These methods are applied in clear, concrete ways during sessions. Jessica routinely coordinates with nurse practitioners and physician assistants when medication or medical issues arise. She is experienced supporting people with anxiety, depression, bipolar disorder, substance problems, trauma, grief, sleep and eating concerns, attention differences, and a range of personality or behavioral issues.
She wants to expand work beyond the jail setting to offer more varied therapy options. Sessions emphasize problem-solving, skill building, and collaborative planning so people leave with tools they can use between meetings.
Online approaches that teach coping and clarity
Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in online work. CBT focuses on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety and mood symptoms. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills for managing intense feelings and impulsive actions.Choosing which approach to use is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss needs, goals, and preferences and recommend strategies to try. Sessions often mix techniques so the plan fits the person's current concerns and goals rather than sticking to a single method.
Online sessions are offered as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy flexible. Video sessions allow face-to-face conversation, phone works well when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing coaching between appointments. These options help people fit therapy into work, family, and daily life while focusing on practical skill building.
