About Jessica
Jessica Senecal-Bennett is a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with 25 years of experience in mental health care. She holds LICSW and LCSW credentials and works with people on stress, anxiety, depression, trauma and relationship concerns. Jessica practices in Massachusetts and accepts international clients, offering help with everyday struggles as well as more complex issues.
She uses straightforward, client-centered methods that focus on what a person needs right now. Sessions often include skill building, problem solving, and practical steps to reduce distress. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy techniques are used to identify unhelpful patterns and try different responses in daily life.
Jessica also draws on solution-focused and trauma-focused strategies when those fit the situation. That can mean setting clear, short-term goals, or pacing through difficult memories with care. Emotionally-Focused Therapy ideas inform her work with relationship and intimacy issues, helping people name and respond to their feelings more clearly.
People who prefer direct, skills-based work and clear steps tend to find this approach useful. Jessica pays attention to how stress and workplace demands affect daily routines, sleep, and self-esteem. She offers support for a wide range of concerns from compassion fatigue and caregiver stress to isolation, codependency, and commitment worries.
Getting started means answering a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. Pricing varies by location and uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time.
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and responding to what matters most to the person in front of the therapist. In online sessions this often means building a clear plan together and checking in about what helps in daily life.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT commonly includes setting small experiments between sessions and practicing new skills for anxiety, sleep, or mood regulation.
Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT) helps people identify and name emotions and then try different ways of connecting in relationships. When used remotely, EFT work can focus on how patterns show up in conversations and on practicing new responses outside sessions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels useful, and then try options together. This is a collaborative process that can change over time as needs shift.
Confirm the exact online session options before booking, since the biography does not list formats. In general, remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. These practical benefits can help people try skills between sessions and keep therapy consistent.
