About Jessica

Background and approach
Jessica uses cognitive behavioral techniques to untangle unhelpful thinking and to build healthier habits. She also draws on dialectical behavior strategies for emotional regulation and mindfulness skills to increase present-moment awareness. These methods are used together to match what each person needs.
Sessions often involve clear goals, skill practice, and check-ins about progress. Jessica pays attention to communication patterns, boundaries, and commitment concerns that come up in relationships. She also supports people coping with grief, separation, caregiving strain, and issues around self-image.
People can expect straightforward talk, homework between sessions when useful, and a steady focus on small changes that add up. Jessica strives to help clients strengthen self-worth, improve communication, and navigate life transitions with more confidence.

Online support
How attachment work and skills translate online
Attachment-based therapy focuses on how early relationships influence current patterns. Online sessions with Jessica can help identify these patterns and practice new ways of relating. Client-centered therapy emphasizes the person's own goals and pace, with the therapist offering empathy and guidance rather than directing the process.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, used alongside attachment and client-centered work, helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. This approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and problems with substance use by breaking issues into workable steps and homework between sessions.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk with each client about goals, preferences, and daily life to decide which methods to try first. Together they adjust the plan as progress is made, mixing skill work, reflection, and real-world practice.
Online formats offer flexible ways to engage in therapy. Video calls are useful for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can fit a break at work or when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging are helpful for shorter check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels easier than speaking. These options make it simpler to use therapy consistently around a busy life.
