Jessica Mason, LCMHC

Jessica Mason is a licensed clinical mental health counselor practicing in New Hampshire. She has more than 10 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and the fallout from trauma and abuse. Jessica creates a straightforward environment where people can talk honestly about what they are feeling.

She focuses on practical work in sessions. That often means spotting unhelpful thinking patterns, trying small behavior changes, and practicing calm, present-moment skills. Jessica draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside client-centered and mindfulness approaches to tailor the work to each person.

Many people come to her with family and parenting strains, relationship and intimacy worries, or grief and major life transitions. She also supports those facing chronic illness, addiction concerns, ADHD, or issues around attachment and abandonment. Sessions aim to address the specific problem you bring, step by step.

Jessica favors plain talk and small, doable steps. She listens first, then offers strategies you can try between appointments. Progress is built gradually, and the plan changes based on what is working for you.

Sessions can include goal-focused plans, motivational interviewing to help with change, and solution-focused work to identify immediate next steps. The overall goal is to help people feel more capable of managing daily stress and moving toward their priorities.

Approaches that translate well to online care

Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small behavior changes to reduce symptoms like anxiety, sleep problems, or low mood. Client-centered work emphasizes listening and understanding your experience so goals reflect what matters most to you.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy to teach simple attention and grounding exercises that reduce reactivity and help with stress or chronic pain. These approaches are practical to try during a session and practice between meetings. Choosing the right method is part of the process; the therapist will collaborate with you to test what fits your needs, goals, and preferences and adjust the plan as you go.

Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make work easier to fit into busy lives. Video lets you practice skills together and read nonverbal cues, phone can be a lower-bandwidth option, and messaging or chat can support brief check-ins or homework between sessions. These formats increase flexibility for people balancing work, caregiving, or health needs while maintaining regular contact with a licensed professional.
