About Gessica
LMHC (Licensed Mental Health Counselor) in Florida with six years of experience, Gessica Yearwood focuses on self-esteem, ADHD, anxiety, depression, stress, and related concerns. She works with people who are dealing with relationship strain, grief, sleep problems, anger, and parenting stress. Sessions are conducted in English and she does not accept international clients.
Gessica uses a mix of methods drawn from client-centered work, cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), dialectical behavior therapy (DBT), motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. In practice this means she listens for what matters to each person, helps name unhelpful thinking patterns, and practices concrete skills to manage emotions and behavior.
She often focuses on short-term, practical steps such as breaking down goals, building attention and routine for people with ADHD, and creating coping strategies for anxiety and sleep. Conversations include clarifying goals, checking progress, and adjusting strategies when needed. Motivational interviewing techniques help people find their own reasons to change and stick with plans.
When working on relationships or parenting issues she helps individuals look at patterns of interaction and develop clearer communication and boundaries. For grief and forgiveness concerns she supports processing emotions and making decisions about next steps. With anger and phobias, sessions emphasize skills to reduce reactivity and increase safety in daily life.
Gessica describes her role as collaborative and practical. Prospective clients should confirm current session formats and scheduling options before booking.

How her approaches translate to online work
Client-centered therapy centers the person's concerns and preferences. Online sessions using this approach mean the therapist listens closely, follows the person's lead, and adjusts session topics to what feels most pressing. Cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. In an online setting CBT often uses short skill-building exercises, thought records, and concrete homework between meetings. Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Delivered remotely, DBT techniques can include practicing grounding skills during a session and rehearsing communication strategies for real-life situations.Finding the right approach is part of the therapeutic process. Gessica will work collaboratively to decide which combination of methods fits a person's goals, symptoms, and daily routine. That collaboration includes trying an approach for a few sessions and adjusting based on how well it helps.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm those options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. Therapists and licensed professionals generally use these practical benefits to help people maintain consistency with appointments and practice skills between sessions.
