About Jessica
Jessica Fernandez is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Louisiana with seven years of clinical experience. She focuses on stress and anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, and related issues such as depression, anger, self-esteem, and ADHD. Jessica works with people facing intimacy questions, parenting strain, eating concerns, career stress, and identity issues including LGBT matters.
Her sessions center on straightforward conversation. She uses Client-Centered Therapy to follow the person's lead and build on their strengths. She also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thinking and try small behavior changes. Solution-Focused techniques are used when clients want quick practical steps to try between sessions.
Jessica aims to be respectful and sensitive in how she responds. She adjusts the topics and pace to match what each person brings. That looks like setting clear goals, checking in about what helps, and changing course if needed.
People meet with her to talk through specific problems and to learn ways to cope day to day. Sessions typically involve talking, practicing new ideas, and planning small experiments to test what works. The focus is on usable strategies rather than long lectures.
To begin, a person completes an intake and schedules a first meeting. The therapist then works with them to set goals and pick practical steps they can try between sessions.

How her therapeutic approaches translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. In an online session this means the therapist mirrors what the client brings and uses questions to clarify feelings and priorities. This approach helps when someone needs a space to sort through emotions and make sense of what matters most.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions. Online CBT sessions typically involve identifying unhelpful thoughts, trying small behavior experiments, and assigning brief exercises to practice between meetings. This approach is useful for anxiety, low mood, and patterns that interfere with daily life.
Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review goals, try methods, and adjust plans based on what the client prefers and what helps them make progress. Collaboration helps shape session focus and the types of exercises used.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as formats are not specified here. Many people find online sessions helpful for fitting therapy into a busy week, having shorter check-ins when needed, or working around work and family schedules. Online meetings can also make it easier to follow through on homework and practice skills between sessions.
