About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Dennis is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in Virginia with 11 years of clinical experience. She focuses on practical support for stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and challenges at work.
She aims to make starting therapy as clear and manageable as possible for someone feeling overwhelmed. She often uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and manage intense emotions like anger. Sessions emphasize learning concrete strategies for handling workplace strain, compassion fatigue, and addictive patterns.
Background and approach
Jessica also helps clients address relationship strain and self-esteem concerns in everyday terms. Her background includes work with first responders and people navigating multicultural or discrimination-related stress. That experience informs how she talks about career pressure and trauma without using clinical jargon.
Her approach is collaborative and down-to-earth, focused on what someone can do between sessions. Jessica typically holds evening sessions and prefers live chat messaging at this time. She is willing to arrange set chat sessions earlier in the day on request.
She asks new clients to complete a short matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect mutual availability. She encourages people taking a first step toward support, and she tries to keep each session straightforward. The work centers on small, practical changes - learning new responses, noticing triggers, and building routines that reduce stress and anger over time.

Evidence-based techniques for online emotional work
Dr. Jessica Dennis uses practical, evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage stress and intense emotions. One common approach she applies teaches skills for recognizing triggers and practicing new responses; this helps with anger, anxiety, and frustration by giving clear steps to follow when emotions rise. Another common technique focuses on building coping routines and behavioral strategies to reduce burnout and compassion fatigue; these interventions aim to change daily habits that maintain stress and exhaustion.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, symptoms, and life demands. That means trying an approach, checking how it feels, and adjusting the plan together so it stays useful and relevant.
Online therapy with her is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video and phone allow fuller conversation and visual cues, while chat or messaging can be useful for brief check-ins, flexible scheduling, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options help people fit sessions around work, family, and shift schedules and make ongoing support more accessible.
