About

Starting therapy can feel intimidating. Some people worry it means they are broken or too weak to handle their problems, while others fear it will be a poor use of time or money. Jess Quessenberry recognizes those concerns and meets each person with patience and practical support.

Jess is a licensed marriage and family therapist authorized to practice in both Michigan and California, and she brings eight years of clinical experience. Her work focuses on a wide range of concerns, including LGBT matters, trauma and abuse, intimacy-related issues, self-esteem, stress and anxiety, relationship and family conflicts, grief, parenting challenges, anger management, career difficulties, bipolar disorder, depression, coping with life changes, coaching, compassion fatigue, and ADHD.

Professionally she uses the chosen name Jess; outside of work she is 33 years old, married, and a parent to two young children. Jess identifies as non-binary transfemme and uses she/they pronouns. She has a history of trauma and abuse and identifies as autistic and as having ADHD, which informs her empathic and informed approach to care.

Jess’s counseling style is relaxed and conversational, and she often integrates humor. She makes clear that nothing a client says or does will shock or offend her, so clients are welcome to use whatever language feels natural. When life lands hard or becomes overwhelming, Jess supports people in figuring out what to do next and walking alongside them through the process.

Is Online Therapy the Right Step Toward Better Mental Health?

Many people wonder whether remote counseling can truly help. For common concerns such as stress, anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and navigating life changes, online therapy has been shown to be comparable in effectiveness to traditional in-person sessions. A major benefit is flexibility - clients can choose the format that fits their needs and routines, whether that is video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or in-app messaging. This adaptability makes it easier to fit therapy into daily life. All participating clinicians are licensed professionals, and clients have the option to switch therapists if they feel a different fit would be more helpful. For many people, online therapy is a practical and effective way to access consistent support while balancing other responsibilities.
