About Jessica
Jessica brings about 10 years of experience in mental health settings. She has worked in residential care with teenage girls, as a rehabilitation specialist at a clubhouse, and as a case manager in a Community Mental Health agency. Her background includes helping people from urban, suburban, and rural communities and a wide range of age groups.
Her day-to-day approach begins with building rapport so people feel comfortable talking about difficult subjects. She uses an integrated model and draws often on cognitive behavioral techniques and motivational interviewing to help people notice how thoughts affect feelings and actions. Mindfulness and narrative ideas are also part of her toolbox.
In sessions she focuses on practical steps clients can try between meetings, and on helping people find motivation for change. Jessica emphasizes progress over perfection and often frames therapy as a partnership toward clearer goals and better coping skills.
She invites prospective clients to use the Start Therapy button, complete a short matching questionnaire, and schedule according to therapist availability. Her work is offered in English and is provided in Michigan.

Online approaches that focus on thoughts and motivation
Client-Centered Therapy centers on listening and building a trusting relationship so people feel heard before moving to practical work. It helps with anxiety, depression, and relationship concerns by creating a clear space to talk and set goals.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts shape feelings and actions. It uses simple exercises to change unhelpful thinking and to practice new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, sleep issues, and impulses related to addictions.
Motivational Interviewing is a conversational approach that helps people find their own reasons to change. It is useful when someone feels stuck or ambivalent about addressing substance use, patterns of behavior, or lifestyle changes.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they decide which methods to try and adjust the plan as progress unfolds.
Confirm the current session options before booking, as formats are set by the therapist. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It also lets people work with Michigan-based licensed professionals from their regular routines while focusing on practical skills and problem solving.
