She helps people struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, anger, depression, grief, and relationship concerns.

Jessica keeps sessions straightforward and focused. She listens first, then helps people set goals and try practical steps. Sessions often include talking through patterns, learning new coping skills, and testing small changes between meetings.
Background and approach
Her style is client-centered, which means the client's values and choices guide the work. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors. Motivational interviewing is part of her approach when someone needs help finding reasons to change.
Over two decades she has supported people facing trauma, addiction, career strain, bipolar mood challenges, and the ongoing stress of caregiving or chronic illness. She also works with clients around intimacy issues, attachment questions, self-esteem, and issues linked to identity and sexual culture. Jessica works with individual adults and focuses on practical tools alongside deeper exploration when needed.
She communicates plainly and aims to make therapy feel useful from the start. People who want clear steps and steady encouragement tend to do well with her approach.

Approaches that guide online sessions
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person's own goals and values. The therapist listens with curiosity and helps the person choose what to work on, making decisions together about next steps.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps people spot patterns that increase stress or anger and then try new ways of thinking and behaving to feel better.
Motivational Interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change. It uses questions and reflection to draw out a person's own reasons for shifting habits, which can be useful for addictions or making lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try methods that fit, and adjust the plan as needed. This is a collaborative process where feedback shapes what happens next.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a lunch break or commute. Live chat or text-based messaging can be useful for short check-ins, writing out difficult thoughts, or when someone prefers not to be on camera. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
