Jessica uses practical, evidence-based techniques that focus on building manageable skills to reduce stress and anxiety. These skills-focused methods teach breathing, grounding and coping strategies alongside thought-focused work to help with panic, worry and everyday pressure.

She also offers exploratory, identity-affirming therapy that supports clients working through relationship concerns, LGBTQ+ issues, self-esteem and questions of sexuality and life purpose. This approach creates space to explore feelings, improve communication and strengthen self-worth while addressing shame, isolation or workplace stress.

Online sessions by video call, phone, live chat or text-based messaging make it possible to access consistent support from different locations and schedules. These options provide flexibility for those balancing work, family or life changes and allow people to choose the format that feels most comfortable for them.
