Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care
Jessica often integrates Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Client-Centered Therapy, and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) into her practice. ACT focuses on helping people accept difficult thoughts and feelings while committing to actions that align with their values, which can be helpful for navigating life changes and persistent worry. Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes a compassionate, nonjudgmental therapeutic relationship that supports self-exploration and personal growth, making it well suited to issues like grief, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. CBT offers practical tools to identify and shift unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns, commonly used for anxiety, depression, and coping with stress.Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works alongside clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques so treatment fits each person rather than forcing a single method. This collaborative exploration helps identify which strategies feel most useful and sustainable.
Online therapy with Jessica can take place via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging, offering flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to keep consistent appointments, access care from home or work, and use the communication style that best supports progress with a licensed professional.
