About Jessica
Jessica has spent 12 years providing therapy and behavioral health consultations in Kansas, and more than two decades in the mental health field overall. She has worked in clinic settings and currently serves as a Community Based Services Director. That combination keeps her grounded in both hands-on therapy and the larger systems that affect care.
Her style is direct and down-to-earth. She says what people need to hear while staying genuine and empathetic. Sessions emphasize useful tools and small changes clients can try between meetings to shape habits and thoughts that get in the way of daily functioning.
Jessica draws on client-centered work and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help people notice thinking patterns and shift unhelpful habits. She also uses mindfulness, Motivational Interviewing, and solution-focused techniques to help clients set concrete goals and build momentum.
Her main passion is grief and loss, but she works with many common life concerns like self-esteem, parenting strain, ADHD symptoms, career stress, and compassion fatigue. Jessica aims to help people leave sessions feeling a bit stronger and more able to handle the next challenge.
She encourages a collaborative approach where clients’ values and priorities guide each plan. Those who want clear feedback and practical steps often find her style a good match.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating an accepting, nonjudgmental space where the client’s goals lead the work. It helps people clarify values, build confidence, and shape changes that matter to them.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at thoughts and everyday habits and how they affect mood and behavior. It breaks problems into steps and gives concrete strategies to test new ways of thinking and acting, which can help with anxiety, depression, and stress.
Finding the right fit is part of the process. The therapist will collaborate with each person to pick or blend approaches that match their needs, preferences, and goals. That means trying techniques, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together.
If you are considering online therapy, confirm session formats before booking because this profile does not list specific options. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life, reduce travel time, and allow shorter check-ins when a full hour isn't needed. It can also let people use mindfulness practices or behavioral experiments between meetings more naturally in their routine. Many licensed professionals find that clear goals, homework, and regular rhythm make online work effective for thoughts and everyday habit change.
