About Jessica
Jessica Factor is a Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 10 years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing anxiety, depression, grief, relationship strain, stress, and major life changes, including challenges that come with chronic illness and caregiving roles.
Jessica focuses on practical skills and clear information when people feel overwhelmed. She shares coping strategies and helps clients connect with programs and services that can make day-to-day life easier. The first session is described as low-pressure and is used to talk about what brought a person to therapy and to get to know each other.
In sessions she uses cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thinking and change patterns that get in the way. She also brings in mindfulness practices to help with present-moment awareness and distress tolerance skills for managing intense emotions. These approaches are presented in simple, usable ways rather than abstract theory.
Jessica aims to help people become better self-advocates, especially when managing medical conditions or workplace and caregiving demands. She talks through concrete next steps and can point clients toward local resources and services when appropriate.
People can expect straightforward conversation and practical tools rather than lengthy sessions of theory. Jessica keeps things nonjudgmental and approachable, and she explains options clearly so clients can choose what fits their life and needs.
How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Jessica commonly uses cognitive-behavioral techniques and mindfulness practices. Cognitive-behavioral techniques help people identify unhelpful thoughts and try different behaviors to reduce anxiety and depression. Mindfulness work teaches brief exercises to notice thoughts and bodily sensations, which can help reduce reactivity and make daily stressors feel more manageable.Finding the right approach is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which techniques fit their goals and comfort level. That means trying approaches, checking what helps, and adjusting the plan together rather than committing to a single method up front.
