Jessica Brousseau is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) and a Certified School Counselor practicing in Connecticut. As an LPC she holds a professional license to provide mental health counseling, and as a Certified School Counselor she brings additional training in supporting students and families within educational settings.

She completed graduate work in School Counseling at the University of Saint Joseph in West Hartford, CT, and has three years of experience delivering counseling to children, adolescents, adults, and families. Her practice addresses a wide range of concerns, including anxiety, depression, stress, life transitions, academic challenges, LGBTQ+ issues, relationship and social difficulties, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related concerns, eating and sleeping problems, parenting, anger, self esteem, career questions, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and compassion fatigue.

Jessica uses an integrative, evidence-informed approach that draws from solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT), cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), and strengths-based therapy. She collaborates with clients to select strategies that fit their individual needs and goals, tailoring sessions so that the work feels practical and relevant. Seeking counseling can be a significant step, and Jessica respects the effort it takes to pursue meaningful change. She is committed to helping individuals and families build skills and resilience as they navigate life’s challenges.

Evidence-Informed Approaches and Remote Care

Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) and solution-focused brief therapy (SFBT) in her work. CBT helps clients identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns that contribute to anxiety, depression, and stress, offering practical skills for managing symptoms and improving daily functioning. SFBT focuses on identifying goals and small, concrete steps toward change, which can be especially useful during life transitions, relationship concerns, or when seeking short-term, targeted progress.

She also integrates strengths-based techniques that highlight a client’s existing resources and resilience, using those strengths to guide recovery and growth. Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process - Jessica works with each person to understand their needs, priorities, and preferences, and adjusts methods as therapy progresses to find the best fit.

Online therapy options such as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging provide flexibility for scheduling and communication. These formats allow clients to engage in therapy from home or other convenient locations, balance care with busy schedules, and continue regular contact between sessions with a licensed professional when needed.
