About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Schweigert is an LPC - Licensed Professional Counselor in Wisconsin with nine years of practice. She works with people on relationship strains, family and parenting concerns, self-esteem, coping with life changes, and social anxiety and phobia.
She combines look-back work with skills you can use now. Her approach blends psychodynamic therapy - which looks at patterns and past influences - with Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) - which focuses on noticing thoughts and choosing values-based action. Sessions involve talking through what feels stuck and practicing small, usable strategies to manage hard moments.
Jessica has experience supporting people through divorce and separation, attachment issues, communication problems, and substance use concerns. She also addresses fertility stress, midlife questions, and the guilt and shame that can follow big life changes. The work often links present problems to past relationships and patterns while giving concrete steps to try between meetings.
Meetings are conversational and goal-oriented. She helps people notice unhelpful thoughts, try new behaviors, and clarify what matters to them. Expect focused discussion, some reflection on history, and practical exercises to build coping skills.
People who come for help with social anxiety and phobia will find attention to both the feelings in the moment and the patterns that keep them stuck. Jessica encourages steady, manageable steps toward clearer communication and more confidence in everyday situations.
How her approaches work for online sessions
Jessica integrates psychodynamic work and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT). Psychodynamic work looks at recurring relationship patterns and how past experiences shape current reactions. It can help clarify why certain social situations feel especially difficult. ACT focuses on noticing painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then choosing small actions that reflect personal values. This can be useful for managing avoidance linked to social anxiety.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review what feels most helpful and adapt techniques based on the client's goals and preferences. That means trying exercises, checking what helps, and shifting focus when needed so the plan fits how the client wants to make changes.
Session formats are not specified in the biography, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find virtual sessions make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Online sessions can also let someone practice new skills in the kinds of settings where they feel anxious, then discuss the experience in the next meeting.
