Jessica Del Gaudio, LMHC

Jessica Del Gaudio is a licensed mental health counselor (LMHC) based in New York with seven years of professional experience. She focuses on practical help for everyday problems like stress, anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Jessica keeps language simple and direct so people can understand what to expect in sessions.

She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) along with other approaches to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try new behaviors. Sessions are shaped to each person's needs and goals rather than following a fixed script. Jessica emphasizes respect, sensitivity, and steady support during the process.

Many people come for help with relationship strains, intimacy concerns, addictions, grief, or attention-related challenges such as ADHD. She also addresses body image, sleep issues, caregiver stress, and mood conditions that affect daily functioning. Problems are broken down into manageable steps and concrete skills are practiced in session.

Jessica aims to create a conversational atmosphere where people can talk through worries and test small changes between meetings. She encourages realistic goals and tracks progress so adjustments can be made when needed. The work is collaborative and paced to fit each person's readiness.

Her approach balances short-term strategies with attention to attachment and emotion patterns that shape relationships. That mix helps when people want relief now and also want lasting shifts in how they relate to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and many everyday patterns that keep people stuck.

She also draws from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to help people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting driven by them, and from Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how relationship patterns affect current struggles. These approaches combine skill-building with attention to personal values and connection.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will talk with each person about goals and preferences and will shape techniques to fit those needs. That shared decision-making helps fine-tune what is most useful as progress unfolds.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video works well for in-depth conversation and practicing skills, phone calls can fit into a short break, live chat is useful for quick check-ins, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options help people fit care into busy lives and different schedules.
