How her approaches translate to online work
Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people notice unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT focuses on identifying thought patterns, trying small experiments, and learning practical coping strategies that reduce anxiety and low mood.She also draws on dialectical behavior therapy skills for emotion regulation and distress tolerance. DBT-based techniques teach breathing, grounding, and interpersonal skills that help during intense moments or relationship conflict. Client-centered work underpins both methods, meaning the therapist follows the client's priorities and keeps the work focused on what matters most to them.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust based on what helps. Clients and therapist decide together which tools to keep using and which to change.
Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm available options before booking. Many people find remote sessions make it easier to fit therapy into work, school, or busy days because they remove travel time and allow shorter check-ins when needed. If quieter surroundings, less bandwidth, or a brief focused session would fit your life better, mention that when you schedule so options can be discussed.
