About Jessica

Jessica Sorbello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 11 years of experience. She helps people manage stress and anxiety, cope with addictions, process grief and loss, and work on anger and self-esteem concerns.

She focuses on practical skills that change daily habits and reduce distress. Sessions involve noticing unhelpful thoughts, learning alternatives, and practicing new behaviors in everyday situations. Jessica blends cognitive behavioral ideas with client-centered listening and techniques from dialectical behavior therapy and mindfulness.

Her approach is straightforward and action-focused. She asks about how problems show up day to day and sets clear goals for what to try between sessions. People can expect conversational work that moves toward concrete steps rather than long theoretical discussion.

Jessica also addresses relationship and intimacy issues, eating and sleeping difficulties, parenting strain, and career-related stress. She has experience supporting people with mood disorders including bipolar and depression, as well as ADHD and co-occurring substance concerns.

When relevant she works with attachment and abandonment issues, body image and guilt, and problems tied to adoption or foster care. Her background includes helping people with impulse control, communication problems, and forgiveness work after loss or betrayal. Sessions aim to build skills people can use outside therapy.

How Jessica integrates structured approaches in online work

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people spot and test unhelpful thoughts and try concrete behavior changes. CBT sessions focus on short exercises, thought records, and behavior experiments that translate to daily routines.

She also draws on client-centered methods that prioritize listening and collaborative goal setting. When emotional regulation is a barrier, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills are used to teach distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and interpersonal effectiveness in practical steps.

Choosing an approach is collaborative. Jessica will work with each person to figure out which methods match their needs, goals, and preferences and will adjust what they try based on what helps most in real life.

Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and avoid travel time. Talk with the therapist about what works best for scheduling, pacing, and the kinds of exercises to try between sessions.
