How Jessica’s approaches translate to online therapy

Jessica uses client-centered care and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy in ways that fit well with remote sessions. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping people set their own goals; that often looks like weekly check-ins and collaborative planning. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy helps people notice thoughts and behaviors and try small experiments to change them, which works well in conversations and between-session tasks.

Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica will work with each person to decide which methods feel most useful. She treats the choice as collaborative and adjusts plans based on needs, goals, and what feels doable for the person in front of her.

Specific session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm the available options when you schedule. Online work can make it easier to fit therapy around school, work, or parenting by avoiding travel and offering shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people use mindfulness exercises, homework, and motivational techniques in daily life with guidance between sessions.
