About Zereana
Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Florida with 15 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical work in sessions so people leave with clear steps they can try that week.
Her style is straightforward and educational, with an emphasis on building real-world skills to reduce stress and increase day-to-day functioning. She uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early connections shape current patterns.
Background and approach
That perspective often helps when people struggle with intimacy, abandonment, or recurring relationship problems. She pairs that with Client-Centered techniques to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where a person’s own goals guide the work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, and Emotionally-Focused Therapy are also part of her toolbox.
These approaches are used to target anxiety, depression, trauma responses, and problematic behaviors like addictions or compulsive patterns. Sessions typically include education, skill practice, and collaborative planning for what to try between meetings. Dr.
Jess-Huff has a particular interest in ADHD, complex post-traumatic stress, grief, and issues around intimacy and self-esteem. She also supports people facing chronic illness, caregiving strain, or stressful life transitions. Her experience includes helping people manage anger, relationship conflict, and co-occurring mental health concerns.
She offers therapy in English and works with international clients. Sessions are provided through a range of online formats so people can choose what fits their schedule and needs.

Online support
Attachment work and practical online therapy options
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how early bonds influence current ways of relating. It helps people notice patterns of closeness, abandonment fears, or repeating relationship cycles and then try new ways of connecting. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on the person's goals and experience, giving time for the therapist to reflect and support self-directed change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and is often used for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate to pick what fits best with a person’s needs, goals, and comfort level. That might mean combining attachment perspectives with CBT skills, or using emotion-focused techniques alongside behavioral strategies. Decisions about approach are made together and can shift as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video sessions let people use visual cues and build rapport; phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a shorter check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or when writing feels more comfortable. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy lives and to maintain continuity across locations.
