About Jessica
Her work often centers on managing strong feelings and repairing strained relationships. She helps people build skills for coping with trauma, grief, sleep problems, and low self-esteem. Jessica also supports those facing life changes such as divorce, immigration challenges, or a career shift.
Jessica draws on methods like acceptance and commitment work, cognitive behavioral strategies, and client-centered listening to shape each plan. She adapts methods to what an individual needs rather than following a single script. Sessions emphasize real-world skills - such as emotion regulation tools, clearer communication practices, and strategies for reducing substance use.
With 12 years in the field and an HI LCSW credential, she combines practical techniques with a compassionate style. Her aim is to help people find clearer choices when anger or stress gets in the way of daily life. To begin, prospective clients complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule based on availability.
Clients who prefer straightforward, skill-focused support may find her approach useful. Jessica encourages small, manageable steps and regular check-ins so progress can build over time.

Approaches that translate to online care
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice difficult thoughts and feelings and still move toward what matters to them. It can be useful for anger, anxiety, and coping with life transitions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thought and behavior and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful cycles. It is often used for anxiety, depression, and sleep problems. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and tailoring the pace to the person; it helps people feel heard while they work through difficult emotions.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences and help pick methods that match your needs. This is a collaborative process that can be adjusted as progress unfolds.
Confirm session options before booking since specific formats are not listed in the biography. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, it can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a workday break, or avoid the need to be on camera for every session. These practical advantages can help people maintain consistency while they practice new skills and strategies.
