About Jessica

Jessica Brousseau is a Licensed Professional Counselor practicing in Connecticut. She trained in school counseling at the University of Saint Joseph and now uses those skills in clinical work. Jessica has three years of professional counseling experience and works with children, adolescents, adults, and families on common life stresses.

She helps with anxiety, depression, stress, and major life transitions. She also supports people facing relationship and social concerns, LGBTQ issues, grief, trauma, and parenting challenges.

Background and approach

Jessica addresses practical problems like sleep and eating difficulties, work and career stress, and concentration struggles related to ADHD. Her style is collaborative and goal-focused. She mixes tools from different evidence-based methods so sessions are tailored to each person.

That means she may use short-term problem solving, thought-focused strategies, or a strengths-based lens depending on what fits. Jessica keeps conversations straightforward and practical. Sessions are meant to identify small steps that lead to lasting changes.

She encourages families and individuals to build on what already works and practice skills between meetings. She invites people who are ready to make changes to begin the process. Jessica aims to create a supportive space where clients can talk through challenges and practice new ways of coping.

Evidence-based approaches and flexible online care

Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which helps people identify and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors to reduce anxiety, low mood, and other symptoms. CBT is practical and focuses on skills that can be practiced between sessions.

She also uses solution-focused brief therapy, a short-term method that concentrates on goals and small steps clients can take right away. This approach is useful for stress, parenting challenges, and specific life transitions.

Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with clients to choose techniques that fit their goals, preferences, and day-to-day needs. Together they try strategies, review what helps, and adjust the plan as progress is made.

Online sessions are offered by video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to make care more flexible. These options let families and individuals schedule support around school, work, and other commitments. The range of formats also allows for shorter check-ins or longer therapy sessions depending on what a client needs.
