About Jessica
Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 37 years of experience. Jessica Hervatin helps people facing stress, anxiety, addiction, trauma, grief, depression, LGBT concerns, relationship and intimacy-related issues. She also focuses on areas such as abandonment, caregiver stress, substance use, first responder issues, isolation, mood and personality concerns, and women's issues.
Jessica uses a mix of client-centered work, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and motivational interviewing. She learned her skills across settings including employee assistance, psychiatric care, substance use treatment, crisis counseling, work with incarcerated people, and hospital-based mental health services. She also taught a counseling course at a local university.
In sessions she keeps the conversation straightforward. She helps people identify problems, learn practical skills, and set steps they can try between meetings. For addiction-related concerns she uses motivational interviewing strategies to explore readiness and build small changes.
For anxiety, depression, grief, and trauma she pairs client-centered listening with cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior methods to address thoughts, emotions, and coping skills. She pays attention to safety and practical needs when someone has a history of trauma or self-harm risk.

How therapeutic approaches guide remote sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and helping the client set the pace. The therapist follows the client's lead, clarifies concerns, and reflects what the client says to help them find their own solutions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions. It uses practical exercises and simple skill-building to reduce anxiety, manage low mood, and change unhelpful thinking patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches coping skills for intense emotions and relationship stress, using techniques for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness.Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, test methods, and adjust the plan based on what works. Clients and the therapist decide together whether to emphasize skill training, reflective talk, motivational work, or a mix of methods.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and allowing shorter check-ins when needed. It can also let people continue care if they relocate or travel internationally. Ask about the session length, frequency, and whether video or phone options are offered when you complete the matching questionnaire.
