Remote work using CBT, DBT, and mindfulness
Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, and mindfulness approaches in her practice. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce symptoms and improve daily functioning. DBT emphasizes practical emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills for intense feelings and relationship strain. Mindfulness therapy teaches present-focused attention and breathing or body-awareness exercises to reduce reactivity and improve concentration.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica collaborates with clients to decide which methods to try first, then reviews what helps and adjusts the plan. Clients and therapist set goals together and pick exercises that fit the person's needs and pace.
This profile does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Many people find remote sessions help fit therapy into busy schedules by removing travel time, allowing shorter check-ins during a workday, and offering options that do not require being on camera. Licensed professionals can adapt CBT worksheets, DBT skills coaching, and mindfulness exercises for remote meetings so clients can practice skills between sessions.
