About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a Colorado-licensed clinical social worker with 12 years of practice as a LCSW and CSW. She helps people who are dealing with stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and major life changes. She also supports people facing relationship and parenting concerns, issues related to LGBT identity, and attention-related challenges such as ADHD.
Her work focuses on clear, goal-oriented conversation and practical skills. She uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to notice unhelpful thoughts and test different responses. She also draws on client-centered methods to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
For trauma, she uses approaches that include EMDR techniques and narrative methods to help people make sense of difficult memories. Motivational Interviewing is part of her toolkit for people who want to find momentum for change and stick to new habits.
Sessions are direct and structured. Jessica guides people in setting specific steps, practicing new skills between meetings, and measuring small changes over time. She prioritizes clear feedback and practical homework so progress can be tracked.
Her background includes a range of clinical settings in Colorado over more than a decade. That experience shapes a pragmatic stance toward common problems like anxiety, grief, anger, and relationship strain. To begin, she asks about immediate concerns and what a person would like to see different in their life.
How Jessica blends approaches for online work
Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify patterns of thinking and behavior that contribute to stress and anxiety, then helps people try small experiments to test new ways of responding. Client-Centered Therapy is part of her style too, which means sessions focus on what the person reports as most important and the conversation follows their priorities. For trauma care she also uses EMDR-informed methods and narrative work to help people process difficult memories and reduce their intensity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. She will review the person’s goals and symptoms, explain options, and adjust methods as needed. The choice of techniques aims to fit a person’s needs, preferences, and what they want to accomplish in treatment.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. It also makes it simpler to use screen-shared worksheets, audio exercises, and guided skill practice during a session. Ask about the available formats and how they would work for your schedule.
