About Jessica

LMSW in Michigan with 8 years of experience. Jessica Van Horn helps people address stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, self-esteem, and relationship and family concerns. She focuses on practical support for problems that interfere with daily life and parenting.

Jessica works from the view that each person knows their story best. She uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques to build on strengths and develop new coping skills. Sessions tend to focus on concrete steps, skill practice, and realistic plans for change.

Clients often bring issues like depression, sleep problems, intimacy-related struggles, body image, or chronic illness and pain. She also supports people navigating abandonment, adoption or foster care histories, codependency, commitment and communication difficulties, and separation or divorce challenges.

In sessions Jessica talks through what is happening now and what the person wants to change. She helps set small goals, practices strategies for stress and cravings, and works on ways to improve communication and confidence. The work emphasizes clear, manageable tools more than abstract theory.

Her approach is collaborative and goal-focused. People looking for help with drug and alcohol problems, eating-related concerns, family of origin issues, or grief can expect a practical plan and skill-building. Jessica offers services in English for adults in Michigan.

Approaches used and what online sessions involve

Jessica uses evidence-based therapeutic techniques that focus on skills and practical change. One common approach emphasizes behavioral strategies to reduce anxiety and manage cravings; it teaches coping skills and step-by-step practices to interrupt unhelpful patterns. Another approach concentrates on grief and loss through supportive processing and problem-solving, helping people integrate losses and rebuild routines.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options with the client and choose methods based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That decision is collaborative and may change as goals evolve.

The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten commute time, and allow more consistent check-ins during periods of change. They also let people join from different locations without rearranging large parts of their day, which can make it simpler to keep momentum with short, regular sessions.
