About Jessica

LCSW in California with 10 years of experience, Jessica Herrera focuses on stress, anxiety, relationships, family concerns, self-esteem, and depression. She works in English and Spanish and helps people with social anxiety, communication problems, forgiveness, guilt and shame, and self-love.

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to help people build coping skills and greater self-understanding. Sessions focus on practical steps clients can use between meetings. She explains tools simply and practices in a collaborative, conversational way.

She often helps people untangle relationship and family patterns that contribute to stress and low mood. Conversations can include ways to communicate more clearly, set boundaries, and handle conflict with less reactivity. Work on forgiveness, guilt, and shame centers on recognizing patterns and choosing new responses.

For social anxiety and phobia, she offers approaches to reduce avoidance and increase manageable exposure to feared situations. For depression and low self-esteem, the focus is on small behavioral changes and building self-directed practices that support mood and confidence.

Jessica brings a bilingual approach in English and Spanish. Over ten years she has worked with many people facing recurring anxiety and relational challenges. To start, a brief questionnaire and scheduling step are used to match people to a first session and confirm logistics.

How evidence-based approaches are used in online sessions

Jessica works from evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on practical skills and behavioral change. One common approach involves breaking concerns into small, actionable steps that can be practiced between meetings to build confidence and reduce symptoms. This helps with low mood, low motivation, and self-esteem by encouraging gradual changes in daily routines.

Another frequently used approach targets anxiety and social fears by identifying avoidance patterns and planning gradual exposure to manageable situations. This method aims to increase comfort over time and to improve social functioning through repeated, supported practice.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. She discusses options with each person and adjusts methods based on needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process helps clarify which techniques fit best for communication problems, relationship issues, or emotional processing like guilt and shame.

The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions around school, work, or caregiving by removing travel time. It can also allow shorter check-ins when schedules are tight or avoid the need to be on camera when that helps someone stay focused.
