About Jemma

Jemma Coleman is a licensed therapist who aims to help people who are juggling stress, relationships, or life changes. She keeps sessions warm and direct, focusing on clear steps parents and partners can use right away. Her style is encouraging and practical, with attention to emotions and everyday problems like anxiety, depression, or parenting strains.

With 14 years of clinical experience, she blends several well-known approaches to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

She uses techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy when thoughts and behaviors need adjusting. She also draws on the Gottman Method for relationship skills and Client-Centered Therapy to keep conversations grounded in empathy. Jemma holds licenses as a Licensed Mental Health Counselor and a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.

Her credentials are FL LMHC MH10210 and FL LMFT MT2962, and she is based in Florida. Sessions are offered in English and delivered in several online formats. Typical topics she addresses include stress, anxiety, grief, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and mood disorders.

She also works with issues such as communication problems, blended family dynamics, postpartum depression, fertility concerns, and career or life-purpose questions. The focus in her work is practical change and stronger relationships. She helps clients build skills they can use outside sessions and supports gradual progress toward clearer goals.

Practical approaches for online family and relationship work

Jemma often uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and the Gottman Method in online sessions. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new behaviors, which can help with anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. The Gottman Method teaches communication and conflict tools that are useful for partners wanting clearer conversations and fewer repeated fights.

She also draws on Client-Centered Therapy to make space for each person’s experience. That approach prioritizes listening and building understanding so clients feel heard while trying new skills. Deciding which approach to use is a collaborative process - the therapist will work with each person to pick methods that match their goals and preferences.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to fit busy schedules. These options make it easier to attend from home, coordinate between partners, or follow up between sessions. The mix of conversational support and practical homework translates well to remote work, allowing regular contact and flexibility for different family routines.

Client-Centered Therapy

The direction comes from you rather than from a set programme. The therapist offers a warm, non-judgemental space to think out loud and work at your own pace. Online, this rests on the relationship rather than on being in the same room.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

CBT looks at the link between what you think, how you feel, and what you do. You work on noticing unhelpful patterns and practising steadier responses. It suits online sessions well, because much of the work happens between appointments and can be talked through from anywhere.

Gottman Method

A research-based framework for couples, focused on how partners argue, repair, and stay connected. Practical and structured, with exercises to try between sessions.
