About

Her practice draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and solution-focused techniques. She emphasizes practical skills for emotional regulation and clearer communication while respecting each person’s background and circumstances. Jessica collaborates with individuals facing separation, forgiveness struggles, guilt and shame, dissociation, or self-harm ideation to tailor an approach that aligns with their goals.
Jessica seeks to create a consistent, skills-oriented path forward. She works with clients on setting short-term goals and building coping strategies for workplace stress, relationship patterns, and transitions. Her approach centers on developing self-understanding and strengthening everyday skills that support decision making and interpersonal effectiveness.
Online sessions and therapeutic methods
Jessica uses cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy in virtual sessions to address thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in concrete ways. Through CBT she helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop alternative responses, while DBT provides skills for managing intense emotions and reducing impulsive reactions. Those methods are described in practical terms and paired with clear skill practice.
Mindfulness therapy and solution-focused therapy are also part of her online work. Mindfulness practices are presented as short, teachable exercises to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity. Solution-focused techniques concentrate on immediate, achievable steps so progress can be tracked and adjusted collaboratively.
Jessica frames online work as a collaborative process in which goals are set together and strategies are adapted over time. She offers sessions by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to accommodate different communication preferences and schedules.How long has Jessica been practicing?
