About Jessica
Her work combines looking at how past patterns affect current behavior with present-focused tools to cope day to day. Jessica uses psychodynamic ideas to help people see recurring themes in their relationships. She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, to build awareness and practical skills for moving toward personal values.
Sessions aim to be straightforward and nonjudgmental. She encourages honest conversation about feelings and the history behind them. Clients collaborate with her to set small, achievable goals and practice new ways of responding outside of sessions.
Jessica has worked with substance use concerns and with young people as well as adults, and she helps people manage communication and attachment problems. She also supports those coping with separation, addiction, fertility worries, trauma symptoms, social anxiety, and questions about life purpose.
People who meet with her can expect a mix of reflection and concrete strategies. She focuses on helping clients recognize patterns and try new behaviors that fit their values. Starting therapy is framed as a step-by-step process where the client leads the pace.

How therapy approaches translate online
Psychodynamic work focuses on patterns that repeat across relationships and helps people notice how past experiences influence choices today. Online sessions can be used to reflect on those patterns, talk through memories, and practice noticing triggers in everyday life.Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, teaches skills to accept difficult thoughts and take value-driven actions. In remote sessions clients learn mindfulness and committed-action exercises they can try between appointments to build new habits and increase emotional flexibility.
Finding the right approach is a cooperative process. The therapist and client will discuss goals, preferences, and what feels helpful. Together they will try methods and adjust the plan based on what produces useful change for the client.

Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people practice skills in the settings where they use them most and brings consistent support into day-to-day routines.
