About Jessica
Her approach is collaborative and straightforward. She focuses on practical steps to reduce distress and improve communication. Sessions often center on identifying strengths, building coping skills, and making small changes that add up over time.
Jessica uses a blend of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, emotionally-focused practices, mindfulness, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy. That combination lets her address emotions, thinking patterns, and moments of crisis with different tools. She adapts these methods to each person’s situation rather than following a single recipe.
She also pays attention to relationship dynamics, attachment concerns, and issues tied to family of origin. Typical topics include intimacy struggles, infidelity, codependency, commitment worries, and the effects of past trauma. Jessica helps people sort through those patterns and decide what they want to change.
People who reach out can expect a calm, direct style and concrete steps to practice between sessions. She works with adults on grief, coping with life changes, anger, impulsivity, and substance use concerns. Jessica welcomes people from different backgrounds and accepts international clients.
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy
Jessica uses client-centered work and cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thinking and build skills for daily life. Client-centered work focuses on listening and supporting each person’s goals, which helps when someone needs a calm space to sort priorities. Cognitive behavioral therapy looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers clear techniques to manage anxiety, depression, and stress.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy ideas for distress tolerance and emotion regulation. That can be useful for people dealing with impulsivity, intense emotions, or recurring conflicts, offering concrete exercises to practice between sessions. Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the process; Jessica works with clients to pick methods that match their needs, goals, and personal preferences in a collaborative way.
