About Jessica
Her approach combines practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and mindfulness with client-centered and narrative elements that honor each person’s story and strengths. She helps clients set concrete goals, develop coping skills, and rebuild a sense of self-worth while addressing the underlying patterns that contribute to recurring problems like co-dependency, substance use, and communication difficulties. Jessica also brings experience supporting people through life transitions, career questions, compassion fatigue, and first responder related concerns.
Jessica provides individual, couples, family, and group formats when appropriate and tailors treatment plans to the client’s specific needs and preferences. She is accepting new clients and offers flexible options for receiving care, including messaging, live chat, phone, and video sessions, to fit different schedules and life circumstances.
Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person’s own perspective and strengths, creating a respectful space for clients to explore their values, identity, and relationships. This approach supports work on issues like self-esteem, relationship struggles, and coping with life changes by prioritizing the client’s goals and pace. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical skills and structured exercises; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, stress, and patterns that contribute to substance use and mood concerns. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-moment awareness and self-regulation techniques that can reduce reactivity to stress and aid recovery from trauma, grief, and chronic worry.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica collaborates with each client to determine which methods best fit their needs, goals, and preferences. Together they review what is working, adjust strategies, and build a plan that feels achievable and tailored to the individual.
Online therapy offers flexibility by allowing sessions by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, so clients can choose what fits their schedule and comfort level. These options make it easier to maintain consistent care across busy work and family lives, while still working with licensed professionals who use structured, evidence-informed approaches to support progress.
