About Gessica
Gessica Yearwood is a licensed mental health counselor who uses a person-focused approach to help people regain confidence and cope better. She draws on practical strategies to target concentration, motivation, mood, and everyday stressors. Gessica speaks plainly and meets people where they are in the moment.
She has six years of professional experience working with issues such as low self-esteem, ADHD-related focus difficulties, anxiety, and depression. She also helps people navigate anger, grief, sleeping problems, parenting strain, and relationship concerns.
How Gessica works
Additional areas of focus include forgiveness work, phobias, self-love, social anxiety and young adult issues. Gessica combines Client-Centered Therapy with structured tools from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and elements of Dialectical Behavior Therapy. She also uses Motivational Interviewing and Solution-Focused Therapy to keep sessions practical and goal-oriented.
These methods are adapted to each person's needs rather than applied the same way to everyone. In sessions she tailors conversation and exercises to the individual, aiming for clear, doable steps between meetings. That may mean practicing new thoughts, trying short behavioral experiments, or setting small goals to build momentum.
The focus is on what helps a person feel steadier and more capable in day-to-day life. People who choose Gessica can expect respectful, sensitive care and collaborative planning. She emphasizes empowerment and supports clients as they take steps toward change.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches adapted for online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the person as they describe their life. It helps when someone needs a supportive space to talk and build clarity about what matters to them. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at patterns of thinking and behavior and uses short exercises and experiments to change unhelpful habits, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep, and focus. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers practical skills for managing strong emotions and improving distress tolerance; it is useful when mood swings or intense reactions get in the way of daily life.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Gessica will collaborate with each person to choose methods that fit their goals, needs, and preferences. She adapts tools from these approaches so sessions stay practical and focused on what a person wants to change.
Online therapy offers multiple ways to connect: video calls for face-to-face conversation, phone sessions for lower bandwidth or when screens are tiring, live chat for shorter check-ins, and text-based messaging for ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit sessions into work or family schedules, allow shorter or more frequent touchpoints, and provide flexibility when travel or time is limited.
