About Jessica

Her style is straightforward and compassionate, aiming to help people manage day-to-day demands and regain a sense of control.

She is pursuing a doctorate in Behavioral Health at Arizona State University. This ongoing study deepens her familiarity with current research and evidence-based therapeutic techniques. She blends that knowledge with practical tools clients can try between sessions.

How Jessica brings evidence-based care to online therapy

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques informed by her doctoral study and clinical work. One common approach focuses on practical coping skills - teaching simple breathing, grounding, and behavior strategies to reduce anxiety, improve sleep, and manage anger. These are action-oriented tools people can use between sessions.

Another approach emphasizes parent-focused support for those caring for children with developmental delays or disabilities. This involves problem solving around daily routines, stress reduction for caregivers, and strengthening communication patterns to ease parenting strain.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. She collaborates with each person to choose methods that match their goals, values, and life situation. That joint decision making helps tailor plans that feel doable and relevant.

The biography does not list which online session formats she offers, so confirm current options before booking. Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into busy schedules, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when needed. It also makes it simpler to keep momentum between appointments while trying new coping skills in daily life.
