How Jessica works
She also draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Mindfulness practices and motivational interviewing are part of her toolbox. These methods support people who want to manage anxiety, reduce impulsivity, or make lasting behavior changes related to substance use.
Narrative therapy is sometimes used to help people reframe painful experiences and build a different story about themselves. Jessica has worked with veterans and people facing comorbid conditions, caregiver stress, and money-related worries. She often uses journaling, short assignments, and guided exercises between sessions to reinforce progress.
Her style is collaborative so clients help shape the plan and pace of work. Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different schedules. Jessica practices in Virginia and conducts sessions in English.
She aims to help people find clearer thinking and steadier coping as they move toward their goals.

Online support options
Practical online approaches for managing stress and addiction
Jessica uses client-centered therapy to build straightforward, goal-focused sessions. This approach centers on listening and responding to what matters most to the client, and it helps when someone wants a supportive space to make decisions or work through emotions.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy or CBT to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that keep problems going. CBT offers clear steps and exercises to try between sessions, which is useful for anxiety, impulsivity, and addictive behaviors.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will discuss goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped in the past, and then adjust methods so they fit the person’s needs. That collaborative planning helps make sessions feel practical and relevant.
Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make scheduling easier. Video can support a deeper conversation, phone calls work well when bandwidth is limited, and chat or text can be used for quick check-ins or brief homework reviews. These options allow people to continue work around school, work, or caregiving duties and to use techniques between appointments.
