More about Jessica
- 20 years' experience
- Female
- LPC
I am licensed in Wisconsin with 20 of professional counseling experience.. I have experience in helping clients of all ages, with Autism, Depression, Bi-Polar, Anxiety, Stress, PTSD, Trauma and Abuse, Parenting Issues, Couples Issues, Career difficulties, and individuals with varying physical and mental health disabilities. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion. I will tailor our dialog and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs. Taking the first step to seeking a more fulfilling and happier life takes courage. I am here to support you in that process. While I am all the things I believe a "good" therapist should be (empathetic, good listener, validate, etc), I do think my style is very welcomes and appreciated by my clients because I am also DIRECT, I will challenge you, I believe that my clients came to me because they needed help to facilitate CHANGE, and in order to do that in my opinion, we have to be 100% honesty with each other, I will need to push some emotional button, to help get insight and self awareness, because without that we often can't facilitate change.... we can't change what we don't know or understand. I believe change is possible, I believe it can be empowering and freeing all at the time..... the question isn't can I change, or is change possible, the question is are you READY to change, and if your ready, I'm ready to help you on that journey!!!!!

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.
