She holds the Licensed Mental Health Counselor credential and the Licensed Professional Counselor credential and brings seven years of clinical experience.

Jessica often includes mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing to support change. She may suggest short exercises like breathing work, journaling prompts, or small goal-setting tasks between meetings. These tools are meant to be simple to use in day-to-day life and to help people feel more steady as they work toward longer term goals.

Her experience includes helping people navigate trauma, family conflict, intimacy issues, and life transitions. She also supports those facing caregiver stress, codependency, impulse control challenges, and substance-related problems. Sessions typically focus on immediate concerns first, then build toward lasting skills and clearer decision making.

People who choose Jessica can expect practical guidance and a steady, respectful approach. She works with each person to shape a plan that fits their pace and priorities.

Practical approaches for online therapy

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with more useful ones; CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and many everyday challenges. She also uses client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening, respect, and meeting each person where they are to build trust and clarity in decision making.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose techniques that fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as needed based on how things are going. The plan is shaped together so the client feels involved in pacing and direction.

Online sessions are available as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to add flexibility. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction for deeper conversation, phone can be helpful when bandwidth is limited, and chat or messaging supports quick check-ins and ongoing reflection between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules and different life situations.
