About Jessica
She approaches each person as the expert of their own story, building on existing strengths to address issues such as abandonment, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose. Her work includes helping clients develop communication skills, explore forgiveness, and cultivate greater self-love and confidence in the workplace and personal life.
Jessica draws on a range of clinical approaches to tailor care to individual needs, and she prefers to conduct the initial session by video or audio to establish rapport. She holds a Master of Social Work degree from The Florida State University College of Social Work and practices from a perspective that values collaboration, empowerment, and practical tools for change.
Approaches That Translate Well to Online Therapy
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and replacing them with more balanced alternatives. CBT is often used for depression, anxiety, and difficulties with motivation and self-esteem. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) combines skills training in emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness to help people manage intense emotions and improve relationships. Mindfulness Therapy teaches present-focused awareness and acceptance techniques that can reduce rumination and support coping with chronic pain, illness, and stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients to explore which methods fit their needs, goals, and personal preferences, and she adjusts the plan over time so treatment stays relevant and practical.
Online therapy using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging offers flexibility for people with busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different session formats, and access licensed professionals from where clients are most comfortable.
