See online therapy optionsAbout Jessica
Jessica Stern is a New Hampshire Psychologist (NH Psychologist 937) with 30 years of clinical and coaching experience. She focuses on common concerns such as anxiety, depression, stress, relationship and intimacy-related issues, grief, parenting questions, and trauma and abuse. She also supports people facing career decisions, life changes, and LGBT or multicultural concerns. Sessions are offered in English and Spanish, and she accepts international clients.
Jessica uses clear, goal-focused work. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and try different responses. She also uses psychodynamic ideas and attachment-based work to look at patterns coming from earlier relationships. EMDR and mindfulness methods are part of her toolkit when trauma or overwhelming memories are present.
Her practice emphasizes straightforward planning. She and the person she sees set concrete goals and track small changes over time. That can mean practicing new ways of talking, testing a belief, or learning techniques to manage panic and intense emotions.
Clients who have moved through major life events, faced health challenges, or struggled with family of origin and adoption issues often come for step-by-step support. Jessica has substantial experience working with Hispanic clients and with multicultural concerns, reflecting bilingual and bicultural experience.
Intake begins by completing a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Payment uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary by location.
How her approaches translate to online work
Jessica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and try practical behavior changes. CBT sessions often include short exercises, thought records, and homework to practice between meetings. Attachment-Based Therapy is used to identify recurring relationship patterns that affect current connections; it focuses on understanding how early relationship experiences shape current expectations and reactions. EMDR is offered as an approach for processing traumatic memories and intense reactions when those memories are getting in the way of daily life.Choosing the right method is collaborative. Jessica will discuss the options, explain how each approach works in concrete terms, and recommend a plan based on the person's goals and preferences. The plan can shift as needs change, and choices are revisited together during treatment.
Confirm which session formats are offered before booking, as the biography does not list specific formats. Online sessions can make scheduling easier and help fit meetings into work or family life. They also allow for shorter check-ins when needed, or sessions that do not require being on camera. Ask about session lengths and practical arrangements during the first scheduling steps so sessions can align with everyday routines.
