Background and approach
Her approach combines attention to the body and emotions with relationship-focused work. Somatic awareness helps people notice physical signals tied to stress and trauma. Attachment-based ideas look at how past connections affect current relationships and patterns.
Jessica has nine years of clinical experience and holds the LMFT credential - Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist. She uses tools from client-centered and emotionally-focused work, and sometimes integrates EMDR techniques when trauma symptoms are present. Sessions can include coaching-style guidance for practical next steps.
Jessica supports people to practice new ways of coping between meetings. She aims to empower clients to manage change, rebuild confidence, and repair important relationships. Her style is warm and direct.
People who prefer clear goals and steady encouragement often find this approach helpful. The work is collaborative and paced to each person’s needs.
How somatic and attachment work translate to online care
Somatic work focuses on noticing the body's role in feeling and coping. Online sessions can guide people to track breath, body tension, and grounding strategies they can practice at home. This approach can help when stress, dissociation, or trauma symptoms show up in everyday life.Attachment-based work looks at how early relationship patterns shape feelings and reactions today. In video or phone sessions, a therapist helps name interaction patterns, rehearse new responses, and build safer ways of connecting with others. Emotionally-focused ideas are used to clarify emotions and improve emotional communication during these conversations.
Finding the right approach is part of the process and is done together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences, then suggest which methods to try first. Clients can adjust the plan as therapy unfolds to find what fits best.
Online therapy offers flexibility through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit therapy into busy schedules, practice skills between meetings, and return to sessions from different locations. Licensed professionals can adapt somatic exercises and attachment-focused conversation to these formats so work continues even when meeting remotely.
