Therapeutic Approaches and Online Support

Jessica uses client-centered therapy to create a collaborative space where the client's priorities guide each session. This approach emphasizes active listening and validation, helping people tap into their own strengths and clarify what matters most to them.

She also draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, stress, and confidence-related challenges. CBT is useful when someone wants concrete tools to change thinking and behavior.

Motivational Interviewing is another tool Jessica uses to support change when motivation feels uncertain. This approach helps people explore their values and reasons for change in a respectful, nonjudgmental way, which can be especially helpful for starting new habits or facing tough decisions.

Choosing the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Jessica works collaboratively with each person to determine which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences, and she adjusts strategies as progress unfolds.

Online therapy offers flexible options to fit different schedules and lifestyles. With Jessica, sessions can take place by video call, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging, making it easier to access consistent support from home, work, or while traveling. This flexibility helps people maintain continuity of care and stay engaged with the work of therapy.
