About Jessica

Rev. Jessica Conti draws on a blend of evidence-informed talk therapy and mindful practices to support people facing stress, grief, anxiety, depression, and parenting challenges. She is a Florida licensed mental health counselor - LMHC - with 17 years in the field.

Jessica brings a practical, down-to-earth style and uses tools that help people cope day to day. Her approach mixes Acceptance and Commitment Therapy with client-centered conversations and cognitive behavioral techniques.

Background and approach

That means sessions often focus on clarifying values, noticing unhelpful thinking, and practicing small changes in everyday life. She also weaves in mindfulness to calm the body and build attention. Jessica has worked across many settings over nearly two decades.

She names trauma and loss among the concerns she supports, and she also helps with eating and body image issues, addiction, bipolar mood concerns, and compassion fatigue. Parenting and family problems are listed among her focus areas. In sessions she aims to be straightforward and compassionate.

People can expect gentle guidance, questions that get to the heart of a problem, and exercises to try between meetings. She draws on personal experience with hardship to offer empathy rather than abstract advice. Jessica offers video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging.

Sessions use a subscription that can be canceled at any time and vary in cost with location and therapist availability. To begin, a short matching questionnaire is completed and scheduling follows.

How her approaches translate to online therapy

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people clarify what matters to them and take small steps toward those values, even when painful thoughts or feelings show up. Online sessions can use ACT exercises to identify values and plan practical actions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing them with real-world experiments; it works well over video or phone when homework and thought records are reviewed together. Client-Centered Therapy centers the conversation on the person’s experience, offering empathic listening and gentle reflection to help people feel heard and understood.

Choosing an approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, try techniques, and adjust based on what helps. That means methods may shift over time as needs and preferences become clearer.

Online formats offer practical benefits: video calls allow face-to-face conversation from home, phone sessions remove travel time, and live chat or text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins or to work through ideas between appointments. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around a busy family life or a changing schedule, while allowing the therapist to tailor tools like mindfulness exercises and behavioral homework to the format that fits best.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)

Less about arguing with difficult thoughts, more about loosening their grip and acting on what matters to you anyway. Values and committed action carry the work, which suits conversation at a distance.

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.
