She focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, grief, parenting concerns, and ADHD. Sessions are conducted in English. Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people manage emotions and daily challenges.
Jessica has worked in mental health since 2004 and holds a master's degree in Clinical and Counseling Psychology from Chestnut Hill College. Her background includes functional behavior assessment and behavior modification work. She brings practical tools for parenting strategies and support around caregiver stress.
Her approach is straightforward. She helps people identify patterns that keep problems going and tests small changes to see what helps. Conversations often include behavioral steps, communication practice, and ways to reduce overwhelming symptoms.
Jessica also addresses grief, guilt and shame, isolation and loneliness, and issues around forgiveness and self-love. She applies methods aimed at improving daily functioning and relationships rather than only discussing past events.
People meet to set clear goals and try specific techniques between sessions. Jessica tracks progress and adjusts plans based on what works. The focus stays practical - easing distress and improving coping in everyday life.
If you want to start, the process asks for a short matching questionnaire and scheduling a first session. The therapist notes that subscription-based sessions can be canceled at any time, and costs vary with location.

Therapeutic techniques and remote sessions
Jessica uses evidence-based techniques that focus on behavior and practical change. Behavior modification involves identifying specific actions that reinforce problems and testing new, manageable behaviors to replace them. This helps with parenting challenges, ADHD-related routines, and reducing anxiety-driven habits. Functional behavior assessment looks at what triggers and maintains difficult behaviors and guides clear, measurable strategies to change them. This approach is useful for addressing repeat patterns and improving daily functioning.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist collaborates with each person to choose methods that fit their goals and preferences. That means trying approaches, checking whether they help, and adjusting plans based on real-world results.
The original biography does not list specific remote session formats, so please confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, reduce travel time, and allow for shorter check-ins when time is limited. Remote sessions can also help people practice new skills in their usual settings and bring real-life examples into conversations.
