About Jessica
Jessica Feider is a Minnesota-based therapist who helps people manage stress, anxiety, addictions, and depression. She brings a calm, straightforward style to sessions and encourages clients to build on their own strengths. Jessica holds an MN LPCC, which is the credential she uses in practice, and she draws on six years of professional experience.
Her approach starts with listening. She treats each person as the expert on their own story and asks questions to understand what matters most to them.
Background and approach
Sessions focus on practical steps so clients can try new ways of coping between meetings. Jessica uses a mix of strategies depending on the situation. She often combines client-centered listening with tools from cognitive behavioral therapy to spot and change unhelpful thoughts.
Mindfulness techniques and skills from dialectical behavior therapy are also used to manage strong emotions and urges. Motivational interviewing helps when someone is unsure about change, and narrative ideas are brought in to make sense of difficult experiences. She aims to make therapy collaborative and goal-focused, so progress is tracked in small, clear steps.
People seeking help for mood disorders, co-occurring issues, smoking or vaping cessation, women’s health concerns, or struggles common to young adults may find her approach useful. Jessica frames each plan around a person’s needs and moves at a pace that feels doable.
How Jessica Uses Evidence-Based Approaches Online
Client-centered therapy focuses on the client's perspective and priorities. Sessions start by listening and reflecting so goals come from what the person cares about, which helps when someone feels stuck or overwhelmed.Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It teaches concrete skills to notice unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors, which can ease anxiety and low mood.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers practical tools for handling strong emotions and urges. Skills for distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and effective communication can be useful for addictions and mood instability.
Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and comfort level, and she adjusts plans as progress is made.
Online therapy offers flexibility in how and when people connect. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation, phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited, live chat can suit quick check-ins, and text-based messaging supports ongoing reflections between sessions. These options help therapy fit into work, school, or daily life and make it easier to stick with the work over time.
