Jessica has been so understanding of everything I’ve had to say. I’ve felt totally comfortable in our sessions because she’s always ready to follow the conversation where it needs to go without judgement, and she is both accepting and constructive in her responses. She has a casual, friendly approach that I appreciate. Highly recommend!

Hello!
I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor and a National Certified Counselor based in Orlando, FL. I graduated with my masters from the University of Central Florida in 2016. I have experience working with individuals both in the medical and psychiatric hospital setting, in community mental health, in the public school system, and as the clinical manager of a community based wraparound intensive outpatient team.
I feel passionate about addressing the mental health needs of both those who have been living with persistent mental health struggles as well as those individuals struggling to adjust to the curve balls life may throw them. I have worked with individuals of all ages experiencing a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, adjustment disorders, anger, family problems, and LGBTQ+ issues. I have also worked with individuals with co-occurring physical and mental illnesses.
My therapeutic approach combines cognitive-behavioral therapy with a strong mindfulness component, solution focused techniques, and motivational interviewing. My style incorporates both empathy and humor as we build our therapeutic relationship. It is important to me that you feel safe, heard, and validated as we work together. I believe firmly in empowering individuals to learn and practice skills to maintain their mental health and improve their quality of life. I approach therapy as a collaborative process, allowing you to set your goals and priorities for treatment.
In my free time I enjoy taking my puppy to the dog park, snuggling up and watching a good movie with my two cats, and keeping up with pop culture.
I look forward to working together!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions. Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.
