About Jessica
Jessica Palmer is an LICSW licensed in Massachusetts with 11 years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, family conflict, parenting challenges, low self-esteem, and depression. Her work also addresses attachment concerns, codependency, and related issues such as guilt, shame, and feelings of emptiness.
Jessica frames clients as the experts on their own lives. She listens for strengths and practical resources people already have. Sessions focus on clear, workable steps clients can try between meetings rather than abstract theory.
Her background includes a decade of front-line practice helping adults through life transitions and relationship strain. That experience shapes a straightforward style that prioritizes what is most pressing for the client in the moment. Conversations tend to be solution-oriented and grounded in everyday problems like work stress, parenting demands, or relationship tensions.
Jessica often helps people untangle patterns that feed anxiety or low mood. She talks through how attachment and control issues show up in relationships and daily life. She also supports people dealing with the fallout of separation, infidelity, or domestic violence by focusing on immediate coping, boundaries, and next steps.
Her approach aims to reduce overwhelm and increase clarity. People can expect collaborative planning, practical strategies, and follow-up on small changes between sessions. To begin, clients complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a first session.
Evidence-based approaches and online sessions
Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical change. One common approach she uses helps people identify unhelpful patterns in relationships and daily life, then replace them with clearer behaviors and boundaries. This is useful for attachment issues, codependency, and problems with control.Another approach she draws on involves short, focused skills work to lower anxiety and manage low mood. These techniques teach specific tools for stress management, emotional regulation, and small behavioral changes that can improve day-to-day functioning.
Finding the best approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, current struggles, and personal preferences. Together they decide which techniques to try and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow quicker check-ins during a lunch break or between classes and work shifts. Licensed professionals can adapt session pace and focus to suit remote work, for example shorter check-ins or longer problem-solving sessions depending on what fits everyday life.
