She works with people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, depression, relationship struggles, grief, and related issues including social anxiety and phobia.

Her work is grounded in listening and helping people find what works for them. Sessions focus on practical steps and clearer thinking. She uses talk therapy to identify patterns, practice new skills, and set small, achievable goals.
Jessica combines several therapeutic approaches to match a person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to spot unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors. Client-Centered Therapy shapes sessions around a person’s priorities and pace. Motivational Interviewing is used when someone is weighing change or recovery options.
She pays attention to relationship patterns and early life influences, informed by psychodynamic ideas about attachment and recurring themes. Solution-Focused Therapy shows up when quick, concrete coping strategies are needed for a specific problem.
People who meet with Jessica can expect straightforward conversation, practical homework when helpful, and a focus on skills they can use outside sessions. She offers care in English and practices from Florida as a Florida LMHC.
How Jessica uses therapy approaches online
Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Client-Centered Therapy in her work. CBT focuses on noticing thought patterns and trying different behaviors to reduce distress, which can help with anxiety, social fears, and mood problems. Client-Centered Therapy centers sessions on the person’s priorities and pace, so the therapist follows what the client brings and supports their decisions.She also draws on Motivational Interviewing when people are weighing change, such as addressing substance use or starting new routines. That approach helps clarify personal reasons for change and build small, realistic steps toward those goals. Deciding which approach to emphasize is a collaborative process based on what the person needs and prefers.
