Evidence-based approaches and online care that fit your life

Jessica draws on evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people change patterns and manage intense feelings. Cognitive behavioral approaches focus on identifying and shifting unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, giving practical tools for anxiety, stress, and low mood. Another commonly used technique seeks to improve emotion regulation and interpersonal effectiveness through skills practice and real-life exercises, which is useful for relationship struggles and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist works with each person to match techniques to their specific needs, goals, and preferences, and adjusts methods as progress is made. Clients are involved in deciding what tools to try and how to apply them between sessions.

Because the biography does not list which online formats are offered, confirm current session options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy day, allow for shorter check-ins when needed, and remove travel time. It also makes it possible to continue work with a licensed professional even when schedules or locations change. If you prefer a particular way to meet, check available formats when you schedule.
