How Jessica's Approaches Work Online

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; this approach is often useful for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and stress. She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which focuses on listening, empathy, and supporting each person to find their own solutions through a warm therapeutic relationship.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk with each person about their goals and preferences and combine methods that match their needs. She adjusts plans over time based on what is helping and what the person wants to focus on.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and text messaging are useful for brief check-ins, homework support, or when flexibility is needed. These options make it simpler to fit therapy into work, caregiving, or travel schedules.
