She has worked in the mental health field since 2004, supporting children, adolescents, and adults through a range of emotional and behavioral challenges.
Her work includes areas such as stress and anxiety, depression, bereavement, and trauma. Jessica also brings focused experience in ADHD, autism spectrum concerns, and social skills development, along with practical support for parenting concerns and relationship issues through couples counseling.
Jessica’s background includes Functional Behavior Assessment and behavior modification, which can help clients and families better understand patterns, build effective strategies, and strengthen day-to-day coping skills. She aims to help clients create meaningful change by focusing on clear goals, skill-building, and supportive guidance tailored to each person’s stage of life and needs.
Jessica Hackett-Smith uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques and brings a strong behavioral foundation to her work. Behavioral approaches often focus on understanding what drives patterns in day-to-day life and practicing small, realistic changes that can support goals around stress, anxiety, parenting, and attention-related concerns such as ADHD.
She also incorporates skills-oriented counseling that emphasizes practical strategies for communication, coping, and relationship support. This can be especially helpful when someone feels stuck in recurring conflict, overwhelmed by responsibilities, or unsure how to respond to challenging emotions after loss or traumatic experiences.
Finding the right approach is part of the process. Jessica works collaboratively with clients to clarify what they want from therapy and to choose methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting the pace and focus as therapy evolves.
Online therapy offers flexible ways to connect, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, maintain continuity during life changes, and access support from home or another comfortable setting.
