Jessica Herz, LMHC

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people dealing with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, and relationship concerns. She also supports people facing grief, trauma and abuse, addiction, parenting strain, sleep and eating issues, and career or life transitions. Her approach is practical and direct, aimed at helping people find manageable steps forward.

Jessica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and dialectical behavior techniques to shape sessions. She focuses on clear goals and skills people can use between meetings. Sessions include active problem solving, emotion regulation skills, and attention to how thoughts and behaviors interact.

Her ten years of clinical experience inform a flexible style. Jessica adapts conversations and exercises to each person’s needs rather than using a one-size-fits-all plan. She emphasizes respect, empathy, and straightforward guidance throughout the process.

Jessica works with concerns that range from mood disorders and ADHD to intimacy issues, substance use, and caregiver stress. She pays attention to attachment and abandonment themes when those patterns show up in a person’s life. Her background includes helping people untangle codependency, communication problems, and commitment or control issues.

People can expect collaborative sessions where goals are revisited and adjusted. Jessica encourages small, achievable steps and uses practical techniques to build coping skills over time. The focus is on real-world change that fits into each person’s daily life.

Online approaches that focus on skills and connection

Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical strategies to shift unhelpful patterns. CBT can help with anxiety, depression, and problems like sleep or eating difficulties.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy, which centers sessions on the person’s perspective and priorities so conversations feel guided by the client. This approach helps when someone needs a nonjudgmental space to sort through emotions and decide next steps.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss goals and try techniques that fit the person’s needs and preferences. Together they adjust methods over time so sessions stay useful and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy lives. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when discussion and visual cues matter. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or a camera isn’t preferred. Live chat or text-based messaging work well for brief check-ins, shorter coaching-style exchanges, and ongoing reminders between sessions.
