About Jessica

Jessica Odell is a licensed clinical social worker in Colorado with 12 years of experience. She helps people who are feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or depression. She also supports those facing trauma, parenting challenges, relationship concerns, and issues related to identity and ADHD.

Jessica approaches sessions with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. She listens first, then tailors conversation and plans to each person's needs. Her work emphasizes practical steps people can try between meetings alongside deeper personal reflection.

Clients can expect a collaborative process that balances immediate coping strategies with longer-term change. Techniques may include talking through patterns, trying new behavior experiments, and revisiting difficult memories when it feels safe. The goal is to help people feel more able to handle everyday stresses and important life shifts.

Her background includes a range of settings across community and clinical work. Over 12 years she has worked with people experiencing trauma, family and relationship strain, abandonment and attachment concerns, and life transitions like adoption, separation, and aging. This range informs a flexible approach rather than a single method.

Jessica uses several therapy styles and adapts them to each person’s situation. She aims to empower clients to make choices that fit their values and goals. To begin, she asks questions to match priorities, then builds a plan together.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and understanding each person's experience. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to name feelings, clarify values, and decide what changes matter most.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, breaks problems into patterns of thought and behavior. It offers clear exercises and experiments to change unhelpful thinking and try new actions for issues like anxiety, depression, and stress.

EMDR addresses distress tied to upsetting memories by guiding attention while people revisit those moments. It is often used when trauma or painful past events are getting in the way of daily life.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide whether to focus on coping skills, memory-focused work, or a mix of methods.

Session logistics should be confirmed before booking because specific formats were not listed in the biography. Ask which session types are currently offered and how they fit into your routine. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use breaks or evenings more easily.
