About Jessica
Jessica Leising is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of professional experience. She works with people who struggle with stress, anxiety, relationships, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Her practice also covers related concerns such as attachment and abandonment, caregiver stress, codependency, communication problems, dissociation, and substance issues.
She approaches sessions as a collaboration where the client’s perspective guides the work. Jessica emphasizes practical steps and short-term goals so people can notice changes between appointments. Conversations focus on identifying patterns that increase worry or conflict and on trying new ways of responding.
In the room she uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to address symptoms and behavior. Sessions may include learning tools to manage anxiety, practicing communication skills, and looking at how past experiences affect current relationships. She also supports clients dealing with eating concerns, gender dysphoria issues, and feelings of emptiness.
Jessica aims for clear, straight talk and concrete tasks people can use in daily life. She encourages small experiments that test what works instead of relying only on talk. That approach can make progress feel more predictable and manageable.

Approaches used and how online sessions help
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavioral change. One common approach is skills-based work for anxiety, which teaches tools to reduce worry and manage physical symptoms through step-by-step practice. This helps with situations like social discomfort and persistent fear by giving concrete strategies to try.Another approach is focused work on relationships and attachment patterns. That involves looking at how early connections influence current interactions and practicing new communication habits. This kind of work can help people who struggle with fear of abandonment, codependency, or repeated relationship conflict.
Figuring out which approach fits best is part of the process. Jessica collaborates with each person to set goals and then adjusts methods based on what feels useful. Clients and therapist decide together which techniques to keep or change as progress is tracked.
If you plan to use online therapy, confirm the current session formats before booking since those options are set on the provider side. Online sessions can make it easier to fit appointments into a busy week, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and let people choose whether to use video or not depending on comfort. Many clients find that doing focused skill practice between sessions helps transfer gains into daily life.
