I’m beyond grateful for Jess’s outlook, expertise, and humor. She really understands me, challenges my thought pattern and listens to me. The growth I’ve made is amazing and I’m able to feel more like myself than I ever have. I’m going through so many transitions but I feel I can handle all of them because of her support! I look forward to our sessions each week probably more than a lot of things in my week lol. Thank you Jess, you truly are amazing!
More about Jess
- 11 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I've been practicing as a professional counselor in New Jersey for over 10 years, in outpatient, school and residential settings. I've worked primarily with children, families and young adults on issues related to parenting, trauma, mood and anxiety disorders. I work primarily from a Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy model, but also utilize Solution-Focused and Motivational Interviewing modalities. I am certified in Trauma-Focused Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy for children, and use a similar modality when working with adults.
Evidence-based treatment is emphasized in my counseling sessions, from beginning to end. Once we have discussed the reasons you're seeking counseling, we will review applicable diagnoses and treatment options for you to consider. We will always discuss expected outcomes of counseling and revisit the counseling goals we develop together.
I understand that pursuing counseling can be a difficult at times, and I approach all clients with empathy and patience throughout the process. I look forward to helping you through this process and in achieving your counseling goals.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Being a mental health advocate I can’t be more grateful for being matched with Jess. I look forward to my sessions each week and I know if I need to contact more that’s always an option as well.
