About Jessica
Jessica Palmer is a licensed clinical social worker with 11 years of experience helping people manage stress, anxiety, depression, and worries about parenting and family life. She focuses on building confidence and improving motivation so daily life feels more manageable. Jessica speaks English and practices in Massachusetts as a LICSW.
Jessica frames the work around each person's story and strengths. She treats clients as the experts in their own lives and helps them try new ways of coping.
How Jessica works
Sessions center on practical steps for reducing overwhelm, improving relationships, and boosting self-esteem. Her background includes a decade-plus of direct practice with common concerns such as attachment issues, co-morbidity, codependency, and problems that follow separation or divorce. She also addresses difficulties like avoidant or dependent personality patterns, control issues, and reactions to infidelity.
Jessica often works with parents facing blended family challenges, people coping with domestic violence aftermath, and those dealing with emptiness, guilt, or shame. She has experience supporting people with disruptive mood dysregulation disorder and impulsivity concerns, tailoring her approach to the problem at hand.
In sessions clients can expect straightforward conversation, practical tools to try between meetings, and a focus on small, achievable changes. Jessica helps people set clear goals and tracks progress together so therapy stays grounded and useful.

Evidence-Based Techniques and Online Care
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on clear skills and practical change. One common approach teaches coping skills and behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage mood swings; these techniques break problems into small steps and give simple tools to practice between sessions. Another approach addresses relationship patterns and attachment issues by helping clients notice interaction habits and try different ways of connecting with others to improve trust and closeness. Finding the right way of working is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk with each person about goals and preferences, then choose or adapt techniques together so therapy fits the client's needs. She checks progress and adjusts plans as goals evolve. Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet that fit busy lives. Video calls allow fuller conversation when face-to-face interaction matters, phone sessions can work when bandwidth is limited or a quicker check-in is needed, and live chat or text-based messaging can be helpful for brief updates or between-session support. These options make it easier to fit appointments into a weekday break, a travel day, or at a different time zone, while still staying connected to a licensed professional.Start online instead of waiting
