How Jessica’s approaches work online
Jessica uses the Gottman Method to help people change harmful interaction patterns and learn healthier ways to communicate with partners. That approach focuses on concrete exercises and skills you can practice between sessions to improve connection and reduce conflict.She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to look at how early relationships affect current bonds and emotional responses. This approach helps people recognize attachment patterns and try new ways of relating that feel safer and more reliable.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is another tool she draws on to identify unhelpful thoughts and test new behaviors. CBT is useful for anxiety, low mood, and practical coping during life changes.
Finding the right approach is a shared process. The therapist will talk with each person about goals, try methods that fit those goals, and adjust based on what helps most. This collaborative stance helps tailor work to individual needs and preferences.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video sessions let you work face-to-face from wherever you are. Phone sessions use less bandwidth and can fit into a break at work. Live chat and messaging are useful for brief check-ins, writing through thoughts, or practicing skills between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy life.
