How her approaches are used in online sessions
Jessica often applies Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people identify unhelpful thoughts and test small behavior changes. CBT sessions are practical and focus on skills people can try between meetings, which is helpful for anxiety, depression, and many mood concerns.She also uses Client-Centered Therapy to listen and reflect what matters most to the person. That approach helps clarify goals and keeps the work grounded in the client’s priorities. Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness when intense emotions or relationship strain are present.
Choosing the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with the client to decide which methods fit their needs, goals, and preferences. That discussion can start at the first session and adapt over time.

Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a weekday break, reduce travel time, or offer a shorter check-in when needed. Those practical benefits often help people keep therapy consistent while working on concrete skills and goals.
