About Jessica
Jessica has 14 years of clinical experience. She listens without judgment and follows the lead of the person in the room. Sessions focus on practical skills, thoughtful reflection, and real goals people can use between appointments. She does not avoid hard topics and will bring up important but difficult issues when needed.
Her work draws on client-centered methods, cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical behavior strategies, mindfulness, and motivational interviewing. These approaches are used to address things like coping with overwhelming emotions, shifting unhelpful thinking, managing cravings, and improving communication.
People who come for help may work on boundaries, self-esteem, grief, body image, parenting challenges, or recovery from past harm. Jessica also helps with workplace stress, caregiver strain, and managing life changes. She encourages collaborative planning so each person sets the pace and goals.
To start, people complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule sessions based on availability. Jessica works in English and practices in North Carolina as an LCSW.
How Jessica's approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person's priorities. The therapist creates space for the client to lead, and sessions often center on what matters most in the client's life. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at thoughts and behaviors and offers practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. It can help with anxiety, depression, and managing cravings. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving communication, which can be useful for intense mood swings or relationship stress.Finding the right blend of approaches is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals and preferences. She adapts techniques based on what is helpful and adjusts the pace as needed.
Session formats are not specified here, so please confirm the current options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, sessions can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins during a break, or remove the need to be on camera for someone who prefers phone conversations. Licensed professionals use similar approaches online as they do in person, focusing on practical skills, problem solving, and repairing relationships to support daily functioning.
