Her work often draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to reshape unhelpful thinking and emotion-focused methods to strengthen connections and feelings. She has extensive experience with trauma and abuse and uses EMDR among other methods when appropriate. Jessica also supports people managing postpartum depression, fertility struggles, and the life changes that come with divorce or relocation.

Online support options
How these approaches translate to online therapy
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building trust. The therapist follows the client's lead, offers empathy, and helps people clarify goals and values. This approach supports many concerns, including stress, depression, and parenting struggles.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) uses practical exercises to change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It often includes homework and skill practice to reduce anxiety, manage mood, and address eating or panic symptoms.
Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) is used for processing traumatic memories. In session, it involves guided techniques that help reduce the intensity of distressing memories and related reactions.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods fit their goals, needs, and preferences. This process may combine approaches and adjust over time based on what helps most.
Online therapy can make regular sessions easier to fit into a busy life. It can reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins, and make scheduling around work or school simpler. Because the biography does not list specific session formats, confirm the current session options before booking. Online work can still include skills practice, emotional processing, and goal setting, adapted to the session format chosen.
