Jessica is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist - LMFT - with 19 years of clinical experience in behavioral health.

Online support
Using relationship-focused approaches online
Systemic therapy looks at patterns between people and how those patterns affect feelings and behavior. Online sessions can help identify repeating cycles in relationships and practice different ways of responding to improve daily life.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early bonds shape current relationships and emotional reactions. This approach helps with intimacy-related issues, trust, and reactions to stress by building awareness of attachment patterns and practicing new interactions.
She also uses Client-Centered Therapy, which emphasizes listening, empathy, and working at the client's pace to set goals and try practical steps. Together these approaches suit work on anxiety, trauma, relationship struggles, parenting stress, and addiction-related concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to choose or blend methods based on their goals, preferences, and what feels most helpful. That collaborative process can shift over time as needs change.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. Video works well for deeper conversations and nonverbal cues, phone is a good option when bandwidth is limited, and messaging or chat can support brief check-ins or ongoing coaching. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy days and to keep consistent contact between sessions.
