Approaches Jessica Uses and How Online Therapy Works

Jessica uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify and change unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns; CBT is practical and often used for anxiety, depression, and stress-related concerns. She also incorporates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to teach emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be especially helpful for intense emotions and relationship challenges. Attachment-Based Therapy is another part of her practice, focusing on how early relationships shape current patterns and helping clients develop healthier connection and trust in relationships.

Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process, and Jessica collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She tailors treatment over time and adjusts strategies based on what proves most helpful for the client.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which makes scheduling more flexible and allows clients to engage from home or other convenient locations. These options support continuity of care and make it easier to fit therapy into a busy life while working with a licensed professional.
