About Jessica
Jessica Baes is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who brings four years of clinical experience to her practice in California. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, tackle relationship and communication problems, and build self-esteem and confidence. Jessica favors straightforward, practical work in sessions.
She hears what matters to each person and helps them use their existing strengths. Sessions focus on small, doable steps that build toward larger goals. Her areas of focus include career concerns and workplace issues.
How Jessica works
She also supports people coping with life changes, caregiver stress, chronic pain, illness, or disability. Guilt, shame, and questions about life purpose and self-love are also common topics she addresses. Jessica uses approaches that center the person and their goals.
She draws on Client-Centered Therapy to create a respectful space, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and Solution-Focused Therapy to set clear, short-term goals. She is clear about practice limits: she does not provide letters, forms, or documentation for legal, medical, or employment purposes, including emotional support animal requests, disability accommodations, or court-related matters.
The primary focus remains on therapy and emotional well-being. People who want direct, empathetic support and practical tools often do well with her approach. Jessica works collaboratively to help each person find manageable strategies for change and growth.

Online support options
Therapeutic approaches offered online and how they help
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and understanding the persons perspective. It helps when someone needs a respectful space to talk through feelings and to feel heard. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It helps identify unhelpful thinking patterns and replace them with more useful habits for anxiety, stress, or workplace worries.Finding the best approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasnt helped in the past. That collaborative process guides whether more client-centered support or CBT tools are used, or a blend of methods.
Online therapy offers flexibility with video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video works well for face-to-face conversation and visual cues. Phone sessions can be useful when bandwidth is limited or when someone prefers not to be on camera. Live chat and messaging allow shorter check-ins and ongoing support between sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while keeping the focus on progress and practical change.
