Jessica Agostini, LCSW

Jessica Agostini is a licensed clinical social worker with six years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, parenting challenges, anger, and low self-esteem. She centers care on respect, sensitivity, and straightforward support. Jessica aims to make the first steps less overwhelming and more manageable for someone seeking change.

Her primary focus is on people affected by current or past trauma. She offers EMDR as one treatment option alongside other methods. Sessions are shaped around each person’s needs rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Jessica uses practical strategies to address everyday problems. She draws on cognitive behavioral tools to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how early connections affect present life.

Work with her tends to be collaborative and goal-focused. She listens first, then helps set small, achievable steps. Whether someone is coping with parenting stress, grief tied to abandonment or adoption, or social anxiety, the approach stays concrete and doable.

Jessica also addresses caregiver stress, communication problems, control issues, guilt, shame, and feelings of isolation. She supports people working through post-traumatic stress and helps build self-love and forgiveness. Her background in client-centered and dialectical behavior approaches gives extra tools for emotion regulation and working through difficult feelings.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help clients identify unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going. CBT is practical and skill-focused, which can work well over video or text when someone wants clear steps to try between sessions.

She also draws on attachment-based ideas to look at relationship patterns and how past connections shape present reactions. That work can clarify why certain triggers show up and guide changes in how someone relates to others or themselves.

Finding the right approach is part of the journey. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That might mean combining CBT skills, attachment work, and other strategies like DBT or EMDR depending on what comes up in sessions.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, while phone sessions can work when bandwidth or screen time is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging suit shorter check-ins, quick coping support, or people who prefer written communication. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life and stay consistent with care.
