About Jessica
Licensed Independent Social Worker (LISW) in Ohio with 10 years of experience, Jessica Factor helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship concerns, and major life changes. Jessica works with adults facing chronic illness, caregiver strain, and workplace or young adult issues. Sessions focus on practical skills and clear next steps rather than vague promises.
Jessica uses straightforward approaches. She draws on cognitive-behavioral ideas, mindfulness practice, and distress tolerance skills to help people manage strong feelings and overwhelming moments. She also connects clients with community programs and services when that practical support will help.
Sessions begin with a low-pressure first meeting that reviews what brought the person in and what they want to address. Jessica emphasizes concrete tools people can use between sessions. She also helps people advocate for themselves in medical or workplace settings when that’s part of the concern.
Her work often centers on day-to-day coping: handling medical diagnoses, managing anxiety and depression, dealing with loss, and improving communication. Jessica names midlife concerns, emptiness, self-love, and chronic pain or illness as areas she commonly addresses. Her style is direct and practical, with an eye toward small changes that add up.
People who choose to work with her can expect clear explanations of suggested techniques and help lining up outside supports. The initial session is framed as an opportunity to set priorities and decide what to try next. Jessica offers services in English and practices in Ohio.

How her approaches translate to online work
Jessica often uses cognitive-behavioral techniques in sessions, which involve identifying unhelpful thought patterns and testing small behavioral changes to reduce anxiety or depression. This approach is practical and task-focused, useful for day-to-day symptom management.She also incorporates mindfulness practices that teach simple attention and breathing exercises to reduce reactivity and increase presence. Distress tolerance skills are used to help people get through intense moments with step-by-step strategies rather than trying to push feelings away.
Finding the right combination of techniques is part of the work. She will collaborate with each person to decide which approaches fit their goals and preferences, adjusting methods as progress is observed. The choice of techniques is guided by symptoms, life context, and what the person finds most helpful.
