About Jessica

Jessica Odell, LCSW, CSW, helps people who are feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or angry find steadier footing. She works with common concerns like stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, depression, and challenges with self-esteem and ADHD. Her tone is respectful and straightforward, and she aims to meet people where they are.

With 12 years of experience and a Colorado license, Jessica adapts conversations and plans to each person's needs. She uses clear, practical steps rather than jargon. Sessions focus on what matters most to the client and on small changes that add up over time.

Her approach draws from client-centered therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and EMDR when appropriate. Jessica also uses motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools to help people reframe difficult experiences and build motivation for change. These methods are chosen to match the problem, not to impose a single model.

People come to her for help with relationship strain, parenting stress, anger, and life transitions like separation or loss. She can also address issues linked to adoption or attachment, codependency, and impulsivity. Conversations aim to clarify goals and develop realistic coping steps.

Jessica encourages a collaborative process. She supports clients as they try new skills, reflect on patterns, and adjust plans when needed. To begin, visitors use the Start Therapy button and complete a short matching questionnaire to schedule based on availability.

How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online

Client-centered therapy focuses on the person in front of the therapist, allowing clients to set the pace and topics. It helps when someone needs a listening space and a therapist who follows their lead.

Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, looks at unhelpful thoughts and behaviors and teaches specific skills to change them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, stress, and problems with anger and impulsivity.

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is an approach used for processing traumatic memories and lowering their emotional intensity. It can be chosen when trauma-related symptoms are a central concern.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will discuss different options, try techniques collaboratively, and adjust the plan based on your goals and preferences so the work fits your life.

Because session formats are not specified in the biography, confirm available online options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time so people can use a break from work or caregiving to attend. Licensed professionals adapt methods like CBT and EMDR to work over distance when that option is available.
