About Jessica
Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in Maine with nine years of hands-on experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship struggles, trauma and abuse, depression, and the stresses of parenting and daily life. Jessica aims to meet each person where they are and offer practical tools to build on strengths and address harder areas.
Her style is straightforward and supportive. She encourages honest conversation and helps people develop skills they can use between sessions.
Background and approach
Sessions are focused on real problems and doable steps rather than abstract theory. Jessica draws on several therapeutic approaches to match a person's needs. She uses techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and shift behaviors.
Acceptance and commitment therapy helps people clarify values and take meaningful action when life feels stuck. For people coping with overwhelming emotions, she incorporates elements of dialectical behavior therapy to teach emotion regulation and distress tolerance. Narrative and Jungian ideas are used when stories about identity, meaning, or life purpose come up in therapy.
Jessica works in a practical, collaborative way. She listens first, then offers tools and strategies tailored to what a person wants to change. Her goal is to help people feel more capable, connected, and able to handle life’s challenges.

Therapeutic approaches and online support
Acceptance and commitment therapy, or ACT, focuses on clarifying what matters most to a person and taking small actions toward those values even when difficult thoughts or feelings appear. It can help when life feels stuck or when someone wants clearer direction. Cognitive behavioral therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thinking patterns and try different behaviors that lead to better outcomes; it is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical behavior therapy, or DBT, provides concrete skills for managing intense emotions, improving distress tolerance, and strengthening interpersonal effectiveness.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose which methods to try based on their goals and preferences. She often blends techniques so sessions match what someone needs in the moment and over time.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let people have a face-to-face conversation without travel. Phone sessions can fit into a short break or work better when bandwidth is limited. Live chat and text-based messaging provide brief check-ins, ongoing coaching, or a way to process between appointments. These options make it easier to receive consistent support while juggling daily life.
