About Jessica
She centers sessions on the person in front of her. Jessica aims to build an open space where thoughts and feelings can be talked through without judgment. She encourages straightforward goals and small steps that add up to real change.
Jessica blends several approaches to match what each person needs. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is used to spot unhelpful thinking and try new behavior. Client-centered methods keep sessions focused on the person's priorities and experience.
She also draws on Emotionally-Focused ideas to help people understand and shift patterns in close relationships. Mindfulness techniques are used to calm the body and focus attention in stressful moments. Motivational Interviewing helps when someone feels unsure about change.
Her work often addresses specific concerns such as attachment and abandonment, adoption and foster care, autism and Asperger Syndrome, caregiver stress, chronic illness or pain, body image, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and disruptive mood difficulties. Jessica aims to meet each person where they are and move at a pace that feels manageable and respectful.
Online approaches that meet you where you are
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and acting. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stresses that come from thought patterns and behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes listening, empathy, and following the person's own goals. This approach helps build trust and supports people who need a calm, respectful space to sort out feelings. Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) looks at patterns in close relationships and helps people notice and change emotional reactions that keep them stuck. It can be helpful for those wanting to improve connection and reduce recurring conflicts.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what actually helps, rather than sticking to one fixed path.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation when visual cues matter. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is low or a quieter check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging suit short updates, ongoing support between sessions, or times when typing feels easier than talking. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week while keeping the focus on progress and real-world steps forward.
