About Jessica
LMFT Jessica Criner is a California licensed marriage and family therapist with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and self-esteem. Her work draws on approaches such as ACT, attachment-based methods, client-centered therapy, CBT, and DBT. Jessica conducts sessions in English and uses a subscription-based scheduling system that can be canceled at any time.
Jessica begins by listening to each person’s story and identifying patterns that cause distress. She pays particular attention to attachment and relationship dynamics and how past losses or abandonment shape current reactions. Sessions include practical skills from cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior approaches alongside acceptance and commitment ideas about values and action.
Her practice often addresses complex trauma, multicultural concerns, and family system stresses that can follow immigration, foster care involvement, or transracial adoption. She also works with people coping with domestic violence, infidelity, postpartum depression, and end-of-life issues. Conversations may focus on triggers, shame, guilt, and rebuilding trust in relationships.
Jessica emphasizes collaboration in sessions. She encourages clear goals and concrete steps between meetings. Therapies used can include emotion-focused work to address relationship patterns and attachment-based strategies to strengthen connections.

How therapeutic approaches are used in online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice unhelpful thoughts and connect with personal values so they can take meaningful action. It’s often used when anxiety, avoidance, or uncertainty get in the way of daily life.Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early relationships shape current patterns. It helps people map attachment responses, repair ruptures, and strengthen emotional connection with others when relationships are a primary concern.
Finding the best approach is part of the work. The therapist discusses goals and preferences and then tests methods that fit the situation. Clients and the therapist adjust the plan as needed so the approach matches the problem and the person’s way of coping.
The biography did not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. In general, online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten check-ins, or reduce travel time. It can also allow a quieter session when background demands are lower or let someone choose not to use video if that helps them engage.
