Hi, I'm Jessica, a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker (LICSW) with over 25 years of experience in the mental health field. I am a Certified Clinical Telemental Health Provider (CTMH). I am licensed in Massachusetts, Connecticut, Vermont, and Maine. I specialize in working with individuals on a variety of issues, including anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship problems, social issues and stressors, overfunctioning, boundary setting, and workplace difficulties.

I know that life can be tough sometimes, and I'm here to offer you a safe and supportive space to talk about whatever you're going through. I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and grow, and I'm committed to helping you reach your full potential.

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.
