How Jessica’s approaches work online

Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to see what feels better; this approach is practical for anxiety, depression, and stress. She also draws on Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships influence current patterns of trust and closeness, which can help with relationship and intimacy issues. Client-Centered Therapy informs her tone in sessions, meaning the person sets the pace while she listens and reflects to help them find their own solutions.

Finding the best approach is a team effort. She will talk with each person about their goals, history, and what feels manageable. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust them as progress is made or new needs appear.

Online therapy formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video lets people use visual cues and practice new skills in a conversational way. Phone sessions can be simpler when bandwidth is limited or a quieter voice check-in is preferred. Live chat and text-based messaging suit quick check-ins, ongoing coaching, or times when writing about feelings is easier. These options make scheduling more flexible and help therapy fit into busy family and work lives.
