About Jessica
She uses methods such as Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and mindfulness to guide sessions. Those approaches are applied to problems like low self-esteem, depression, bipolar disorder, and compulsive behaviors. Jessica works with people who are navigating life changes, grief, and complicated emotions such as guilt, shame, and anger.
Jessica pays attention to cultural background and personal context when planning care. She helps people build coping skills, reduce isolation, and address family-related stress without making assumptions about a person's situation. Practical tools, emotion regulation skills, and gradual steps toward change are common features of her work.
Her practice also addresses concerns such as eating struggles, codependency, domestic violence history, substance use, aging and geriatric issues, and immigration-related stress. In sessions she focuses on clear goals, steady progress, and skills people can use between meetings.
Jessica practices in Florida and conducts therapy in English. To start, the site matching process is used to schedule an initial appointment based on therapist availability.
How evidence-based approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify personal values and take small, value-driven actions even when emotions are difficult. It is useful for anxiety, stress, and motivation struggles. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with behavioral experiments to reduce symptoms of depression and anxiety. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improving relationships, which can help with intense emotions and impulsivity.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will discuss your goals and preferences, try approaches that fit your needs, and adjust the plan over time. Clients and the therapist check in about what's working and what needs to change so sessions stay focused and practical.
Specific online session formats are not listed in the provided biography, so confirm current session options before booking. In general, remote work can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. Online work also lets people use skills practiced in real-life settings and bring examples from daily life into sessions for immediate feedback.
