Background and approach
She encourages skill-building that can be used between appointments. Her work draws on cognitive behavioral ideas to notice and change unhelpful thinking patterns. She also uses client-centered methods to match support to each person’s needs.
For relationships and stress, she blends practical strategies with problem-solving techniques. Tessica has seven years of professional counseling experience. Before her current work she spent time as a school counselor working with children from prekindergarten through 12th grade, which shaped her patient and clear communication style.
She explains concepts in plain language and checks in to make sure they make sense. Sessions are focused on what the person needs now and what can be tried next. She helps people build coping skills, improve sleep and eating routines, and work through grief or career stress.
Tessica aims to support steady progress while honoring each person’s pace.
Therapeutic approaches for online care
Tessica commonly uses client-centered methods and cognitive behavioral therapy to guide her online work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, validating experiences, and building on a person's strengths to make changes that feel right for them. Cognitive behavioral therapy helps identify unhelpful thoughts and habits and then practices new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and manage mood.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy for skills training when emotion regulation and distress tolerance are priorities. DBT teaches concrete tools for handling strong emotions, improving communication, and reducing impulsive reactions, which can help with anger, relationship strain, and some attention or mood concerns. Choosing which approach to use is collaborative; the therapist discusses options, checks what feels useful, and adjusts plans based on goals and progress.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video calls let people work face to face from different locations. Phone sessions are a good option when bandwidth is low or a camera-free check-in is preferred. Live chat and text messaging allow brief check-ins and skills coaching between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or busy schedules while keeping care consistent.
