About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Mijal is a Wisconsin psychologist (WI Psychologist 3026-57) with 15 years of clinical experience. She primarily works with adults and addresses stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, grief, trauma and abuse, relationship and intimacy-related issues, parenting concerns, sleep problems, addiction, career questions, compassion fatigue, and life changes.
She uses concrete, person-focused methods to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and habits. Sessions emphasize practical steps and clear goals. Dr. Mijal listens for how a person views themselves and their life, then offers observations and suggestions to try between meetings.
Her approach blends Cognitive Behavioral Therapy with client-centered conversation, existential thinking, mindfulness practices, and motivational interviewing. She balances shorter solution-focused work with longer exploration of patterns that keep people stuck. That mix lets clients test new responses and also look at deeper influences on behavior.
Dr. Mijal frames therapy as a collaborative process. She treats the person in front of her as the expert on their life and provides guidance, exercises, and occasional direct feedback. Sessions are paced to match practical goals and the willingness to try different strategies.
She has practiced in multiple settings over her career and brings fifteen years of experience to clinical decision making. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Wisconsin. For specific session formats and scheduling, prospective clients should confirm current options before booking.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Dr. Mijal commonly integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and client-centered techniques, and sometimes draws on existential thinking. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors through short, practical exercises that can be done between sessions. Client-centered work centers on listening and reflecting so the client’s own goals guide the plan. Existential approaches look at values and meaning when people consider life changes or persistent dissatisfaction.Finding the right mix of methods is collaborative. She works with each person to set clear goals, try specific strategies, and adjust the plan if something isn’t helpful. Clients and the therapist review progress and agree on next steps together rather than following a fixed program.
The practical benefits of online work depend on the formats currently offered, so confirm session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, reduce travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Some methods used in sessions lend themselves to home practice assignments, worksheets, and brief between-session tasks that support change in daily life.
