She helps clients navigate divorce, financial stress, isolation, guilt, and issues tied to military service and veteran life. Therapy with Jessica is collaborative and straightforward.

How Jessica’s approaches work online
Jessica uses client-centered work to begin sessions by listening closely and helping clients set clear, personal goals. This approach focuses on understanding each person's priorities and shaping therapy around what matters most to them.She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps identify unhelpful thoughts and replace them with practical skills and small behavior changes. CBT is useful for anxiety, stress, and patterns that keep problems repeating.
Mindfulness techniques are woven into sessions to teach simple grounding and awareness practices. These tools help with stress, impulsivity, and coping when emotions feel overwhelming.
Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively to choose methods that fit a client's needs, goals, and comfort level, and she adjusts the plan as progress is made.
Online sessions are offered by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging to make therapy more flexible. Video lets people work face to face when schedules allow. Phone calls can be easier when bandwidth is limited. Chat and text messaging support brief check-ins and ongoing support between longer sessions. These options let clients fit sessions into work breaks, caregiving schedules, or other busy days.
