Jessica Peres

Jessica Peres is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) based in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She offers calm, direct care for people feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, depression, anger, or addiction. Jessica aims to help clients learn practical skills and feel steadier in daily life.

She focuses on healing from past pain and building better ways of relating to others. Sessions tend to focus on improving communication, strengthening self-esteem, and managing intense emotions. Jessica emphasizes straightforward tools people can use between sessions to handle triggers and tense moments.

Her work draws on therapy approaches that pay attention to early relationships, present behavior patterns, and mindful awareness. That helps when issues are rooted in attachment wounds, abandonment, or problems with trust and intimacy. She also works with people facing family conflict, caregiver stress, or recovery from substance use.

Jessica uses a collaborative style. She listens for what matters most to each person and tailors steps to match their goals. Expect clear explanations, skill practice, and a focus on what can change now.

Sessions are conducted in English and Portuguese. For those who want to begin, she asks people to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule according to availability. The service uses a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How these approaches shape online work

Attachment-Based Therapy looks at early relationship patterns and how they affect current connections. It helps people understand why they react strongly in close relationships and offers ways to form steadier bonds. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and changing behavior patterns. It is useful for managing anxiety, depression, and anger by teaching specific, practical skills. Mindfulness Therapy encourages paying attention to the present moment with less judgment and can reduce reactivity and rumination.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to test which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. Sessions often combine elements from different approaches so the plan matches what matters most to the client.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know how appointments are offered. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, save travel time, or allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight. Talk with the therapist during the intake to plan session length and timing that work around work, caregiving, or other daily responsibilities.
