Jessica originally trained in art therapy and clinical mental health counseling, and she brings that creative perspective into sessions when it fits.
Background and approach
She blends person-centered care with structured strategies such as cognitive and behavioral tools and dialectical ideas to manage strong emotions. This mix helps people tackle symptoms and build everyday skills. Her work includes focused help for issues like body image, compulsive behaviors, panic, post-traumatic stress, and relationship communication problems.
She also supports people dealing with guilt, shame, impulsivity, and the transition into young adulthood. Sessions emphasize practical coping skills and clear goals rather than jargon. Jessica favors a collaborative style.
She listens first, then offers techniques and exercises tailored to each person’s situation. Art-based activities may be used to make feelings easier to name and work through when verbal approaches feel limited. People who choose Jessica can expect steady, empathetic guidance and a focus on small, achievable changes.
She helps clients identify what matters most to them and practices realistic ways to get there over time.
How evidence-based approaches work online
Jessica integrates person-centered care with structured cognitive and behavioral tools to help people notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. Cognitive-behavioral techniques break problems into manageable parts and teach clear skills for anxiety, depression, eating concerns, and panic.She also draws from dialectical principles that focus on emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and balanced problem solving. These ideas are useful when feelings feel overwhelming or impulsive behaviors are present. When verbal work feels limited, art-informed activities are offered as another way to name feelings and practice new responses.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will listen to current concerns, discuss different strategies, and try what fits best. Goals and methods are adjusted over time based on what helps most for daily life.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and interactive exercises. Phone sessions can be a simpler option when bandwidth is limited or a quick check-in is needed. Live chat and text-based messaging let people send thoughts between sessions or use shorter, focused check-ins. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, school, and caregiving responsibilities while continuing consistent, evidence-informed care.
