Jessica Sorbello, LCSW

Jessica Sorbello is a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW) in New York with 11 years of experience. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, addiction, grief, anger, low self-esteem, relationship struggles, and other life changes. Jessica creates a calm space where people can talk about hard feelings without judgment. She emphasizes practical steps and new coping skills to improve day-to-day life.

Her approach blends Client-Centered Therapy with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. Jessica uses Mindfulness practices and Motivational Interviewing when they fit the client's goals. Sessions focus on understanding emotions, spotting unhelpful thought patterns, and building tools to manage impulses and intense feelings.

She has worked across settings for over a decade, supporting people through addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, and identity concerns such as LGBT-related issues. Jessica also addresses concerns like eating and sleeping difficulties, body image, attention challenges, and mood disorders including depression and bipolar symptoms.

In practical work she helps clients tackle communication problems, control and impulsivity issues, and problems tied to abandonment, attachment, or adoption and foster care histories. Her style is collaborative and straightforward, with a focus on small, doable changes.

Jessica asks clients to set clear goals and checks progress along the way. She encourages people to try new coping strategies between sessions and to bring honest feedback so the plan can be adjusted as needed.

Approaches that guide online sessions

Client-Centered Therapy centers the client's perspective and priorities, letting sessions follow what matters most to the person. It helps people feel heard while they work toward clearer goals. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts and behaviors influence feelings and teaches step-by-step skills to change patterns that cause distress. CBT is often useful for anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating concerns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can help with impulsivity, intense anger, and relationship strain.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each client to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and life demands. That may mean trying a few methods and adjusting the plan as progress is reviewed.

Please confirm which session formats are currently offered before booking, as the profile does not list specific options. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into busy days, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some formats also let people work without being on camera or choose a quieter audio-only option when needed. Licensed professionals tailor the pace and tools to each person's situation so therapy fits into real life while focusing on practical skill building.
