About Jessica
Jessica Brousseau is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Connecticut. She trained in school counseling at the University of Saint Joseph and brings three years of clinical experience to her work. Jessica meets people where they are and focuses on clear, practical steps rather than jargon.
Her approach is collaborative and flexible. She uses ideas from solution-focused brief work and cognitive behavioral techniques to help people manage anxiety, depression, stress, and life transitions.
Background and approach
Sessions often include skill-building, goal setting, and straightforward strategies to handle difficult moments. Jessica also helps with relationship and intimacy concerns, grief, trauma and abuse, and issues related to gender and sexual identity. She supports people facing parenting stress, career questions, anger, low self-esteem, and burnout such as compassion fatigue.
Eating and sleeping difficulties, attention concerns like ADHD, and mood conditions such as bipolar disorder are also within her focus areas. She favors a strengths-based stance and aims to highlight what is already working. Meetings are practical and solution-oriented, with room for emotional processing when needed.
The goal is to leave each session with one or two usable steps. Therapy can look different for different people, and Jessica encourages open conversation about what feels helpful. She guides clients in choosing strategies that match their goals and life demands.
Her style is direct, warm, and focused on real-world results.
Evidence-Based Techniques and Flexible Online Care
Jessica draws from solution-focused brief methods and cognitive behavioral approaches to guide online work. Solution-focused brief methods focus on concrete goals and small changes that build forward momentum, which can help with stress, life transitions, and problem-solving. Cognitive behavioral techniques look at how thoughts, feelings, and behaviors interact and teach practical skills to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and improve sleep.Choosing the right approach is a team effort. Jessica talks with each person about their needs, goals, and what has or hasn’t worked before. Together they try strategies, refine what fits, and adjust the plan as progress is made so therapy stays relevant and useful.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different schedules and preferences. Video lets people use visual cues and deeper conversation. Phone sessions require less bandwidth and can be easier during a busy day. Live chat and text messaging work well for brief check-ins, skill practice, or when written reflection helps. These options aim to make attending sessions simpler and more consistent for people with busy lives.
