Online support

Approach-driven online therapy that fits your life

Jessica uses client-centered work to put each person’s priorities at the center of sessions. That means the conversation starts with what matters most to you and builds from there, whether the focus is parenting strain, relationship trouble, or feeling stuck.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which looks at the connections between thoughts, feelings, and actions. CBT offers concrete strategies for managing anxiety, mood, and daily habits. When past trauma is part of the story, trauma-focused approaches are used to help process painful memories and reduce their impact on current life.

Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to test methods, adjust plans, and choose what feels most helpful based on goals and preferences. This is a team effort where goals guide which tools are tried.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to fit different routines. Video is useful for fuller conversations, phone calls can be easier when less bandwidth is available, and messaging or live chat work well for quick check-ins or people who prefer not to be on camera. These options make it easier to schedule therapy around work, school, or caregiving responsibilities.
