About Jessica
Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, anger, depression, and relationship strain. Many people come to her for help with self-esteem, life changes, grief, addiction, parenting pressures, and work or career concerns.
Jessica practices in a direct, approachable way. Sessions focus on practical steps and skills people can use right away. She listens first, then helps clients set small goals and try new ways of handling hard moments.
Background and approach
Her background includes ten years of clinical experience working with a wide range of concerns. That experience includes mood disorders, trauma and abuse, substance issues, and challenges tied to attachment and communication. Jessica draws on multiple therapeutic methods to match each person’s needs.
In sessions she blends client-centered conversation with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy. She also uses emotionally focused ideas and mindfulness exercises to help people notice patterns and respond differently. The result is a mix of talking, skill practice, and real-world strategies.
Jessica aims to make the work collaborative. She helps clients identify what matters most, tries approaches that fit their life, and adjusts plans as progress is made. People who want straightforward guidance and practical tools often find this style useful.

Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Jessica blends client-centered therapy with cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in ways that work well online. Client-centered therapy means conversations start with the person's priorities and values, helping build trust and clear goals. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which often translates into practical homework and brief skill practices between sessions. Dialectical behavior therapy offers emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that can be taught and practiced across different session formats.Choosing the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn't worked before. Together they try methods that fit the person's pace and adjust as progress is made, making changes if something doesn't feel helpful.
Online sessions use video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexible care. Video is helpful when visual cues matter, phone calls can fit a quick check-in or low-bandwidth option, and chat or messaging supports shorter updates or skill coaching between meetings. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, caregiving, or travel while keeping continuity of care.
