Jess Quessenberry , LMFT

Jess Quessenberry knows that starting therapy often feels intimidating and that many people worry it means they are broken or weak. They understands that some may view therapy as a poor investment, while others simply need support because life feels confusing or overwhelming. When circumstances hit hard and the next step is unclear, Jess offers steady, practical guidance to help clients make sense of their experiences and find a way forward.

Jess brings eight years of clinical experience and identifies as non-binary transfemme, using she and they pronouns. They are 33 years old, married, and a parent to two young children. Jess also shares aspects of their own background, including lived experience with trauma and abuse as well as being autistic and having ADHD, which informs a compassionate and empathetic therapeutic stance.

Their counseling style leans toward casual conversation and often includes humor to ease tension. Jess creates a space where clients can speak freely without fear of shocking or offending the therapist - people are invited to use the language that feels most authentic to them. Jess is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - a clinician trained to work with individuals, couples, and families on relational and personal concerns - and integrates that training into collaborative, client-centered care.

Approach-Focused Online Therapy with Jess

Jess integrates several evidence-informed approaches to tailor care to each client's needs. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a trusting therapeutic relationship where the client leads the pace and topics of work; this approach supports clients navigating relationships, self-esteem, and life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy - or CBT - helps identify and shift unhelpful thinking patterns and behaviors, which can reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress by teaching practical coping skills. Mindfulness Therapy encourages present-moment awareness and nonjudgmental observation of thoughts and emotions, which can be especially useful for managing anxiety, improving attention, and supporting emotional regulation.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jess works with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences and then adapts techniques from these approaches to create a treatment plan that fits the individual. That collaborative stance means the plan can evolve as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for busy schedules, parenting responsibilities, work commitments, or geographic distance. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care and access support from wherever the client is located.
