Jessica Orndoff, MD, LCSW-C

Jessica Orndoff is a licensed clinical social worker who brings a compassionate, values-driven approach to therapy. She graduated from the University of Maryland School of Social Work in 2008 and has practiced in private clinical settings for over a decade. Jessica blends practical, evidence-based methods with a holistic outlook, tailoring interventions to each person’s unique needs and circumstances.

She draws from cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, mindfulness, and other therapeutic frameworks to address issues such as depression, anxiety, post-traumatic stress, and challenges adjusting to life changes. Her work emphasizes collaboration - beginning where a client is, identifying strengths and needs, and developing clear, achievable goals together.

Jessica describes her style as non-judgmental and open, guided by the core values of the social work profession, including service, social justice, the dignity and worth of the person, the importance of human relationships, integrity, and competence. She aims to create a welcoming atmosphere in which people feel understood and supported as they share their stories and pursue meaningful change.

Jessica holds an MD and an LCSW-C. The MD denotes a medical degree, and the LCSW-C indicates a clinical social work license. Prospective clients should note that her availability for live sessions for new clients is currently limited to what is shown on her schedule; if those times do not align, she suggests considering a different counselor.
