Jessica Wiles, LISW

Jessica Wiles is a licensed independent social worker in Ohio who helps people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, grief, and changes like parenting or career transitions. She draws on practical strategies and a calm, respectful approach to meet people where they are. Jessica believes most people have strengths they can use to handle hardships and move toward a more satisfying life.

Jessica emphasizes straightforward, collaborative work. She uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people spot unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. Client-centered listening guides conversations so people feel heard and understood before trying new tools.

Mindfulness exercises and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox for building focus and motivation. Solution-focused steps break big problems into small, doable actions. Sessions tend to focus on concrete goals and skills that can be practiced between meetings.

Her background includes three years as a social work clinician. That experience has involved helping people cope with trauma, panic attacks, adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, and challenges faced by young adults. Jessica also has experience working with people who are hearing impaired.

People who prefer plain language and practical plans may find her style a good fit. She aims to create a steady, supportive space where clients try small changes and track what helps. The work is paced to match individual needs and daily life demands.

How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice unhelpful thought patterns and try new behaviors. CBT-style work online can include homework assignments, thought records, and step-by-step behavior experiments that clients complete between sessions.

She also practices client-centered therapy, which focuses on listening and understanding each person’s experience. That approach supports building trust and clarifying goals before choosing specific tools, which can be done easily over video or phone conversations.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica will work together with each person to decide which methods fit their needs and goals. That collaborative planning helps set small, achievable steps and adjusts methods as progress is tracked.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and screen-sharing for worksheets. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can fit a work break or a quick check-in. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send shorter updates, practice skills in writing, or get support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to use consistent, goal-focused therapy within a busy life.
