How Jessica works
Her background includes work across a wide range of concerns, from relationship and parenting strains to ADHD and anger management. Her approach draws on client-centered therapy to keep the person's goals front and center. She also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thinking and build new habits.
For people coping with traumatic memories, she offers EMDR as one option to reduce emotional intensity. Jessica also incorporates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy when those methods match a client's goals. That means she helps people clarify what matters to them and reframe painful stories into more manageable narratives.
Sessions are collaborative and paced to what each person can handle. Jessica supports people dealing with complex situations such as adoption and foster care issues, abandonment, codependency, divorce and separation, and isolation. She emphasizes small, achievable steps so progress feels realistic.
The work aims at lasting change rather than quick fixes.

Online support options
Approach and options for online therapy
Jessica uses client-centered therapy to keep sessions focused on each person's goals and values. That approach emphasizes listening, empathy, and adjusting the pace to what the person needs. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, is offered to help identify unhelpful thought patterns and build new coping skills for anxiety, depression, and stress.For clients dealing with traumatic memories, EMDR is available as a method to lessen the emotional charge around distressing events. EMDR sessions involve structured processing and can help people feel less overwhelmed by specific memories. Choosing an approach is a collaborative process - Jessica works with each person to test what helps, adjust techniques, and set realistic goals together.
Online sessions are provided by licensed professionals using video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and visual cues, phone sessions can be easier when bandwidth is limited, live chat is useful for shorter check-ins, and text messaging supports ongoing reflection between sessions. These options offer flexibility for busy lives and different comfort levels with distance therapy.
