Remote therapy tailored to goals and coping skills
Jessica offers online sessions that draw on structured, skills-based methods alongside a person-centered stance. In video or phone sessions she may use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop concrete ways to adjust behaviors and coping strategies. Sessions can also include live chat or text-based messaging for ongoing support between appointments.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques are offered in a skills-building format to address emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. This approach can fit clients who want structured tools to manage intense emotions or relationship stress, while the clinician and client collaborate on which skills to prioritize.
For concerns related to trauma, Jessica incorporates Trauma-Focused Therapy to attend to painful memories and their effects at a pace agreed upon with the client. Across modalities she uses a collaborative process to set goals and choose whether video, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging best supports each person’s needs.
