About Jessica

Jessica Dye is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) who focuses on stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She works with adults who feel worn down by many roles and responsibilities. Her style is warm and practical, offering clear tools parents and caregivers can use between sessions.

Jessica emphasizes small, doable steps so people leave therapy with one new thing to try right away.

Background and approach

She begins by learning what matters most to each person and setting simple goals together. The first session includes a brief intake and a plan for what to try between visits. Jessica uses an eclectic mix of methods and chooses what fits the person - common approaches she draws on include cognitive behavioral techniques, mindfulness, somatic work, and trauma-focused care.

In sessions she offers a calm, nonjudgmental space and explains skills in plain language. She helps people develop healthier routines, set boundaries, and challenge guilt or shame tied to caregiving roles. Jessica also supports work on body image, self-love, and relationship patterns that started in childhood.

Therapy with her focuses on practical change and steady progress. She encourages collaboration, matching methods to each person’s needs and pace. Over time clients practice new habits that reduce anxiety, improve communication, and restore a sense of personal well-being.

Jessica holds a California LMFT license (CA LMFT 123136) and has eight years of clinical experience. Sessions are offered in English and conducted online via video calls, phone, live chat, or text-based messaging for people located in California.

Evidence-based approaches and online flexibility

Jessica commonly uses cognitive behavioral techniques, which focus on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing new ways of thinking and behaving to reduce anxiety and improve mood. This approach is useful for stress, anxiety, and building practical coping skills.

She also integrates mindfulness and somatic-informed work to help people notice body signals and find simple grounding tools. These methods can be helpful after trauma or during times of intense stress when physical tension is part of the problem.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences, and then suggest techniques that fit. She adjusts the plan over time based on what works in real life.

Online therapy is offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules and to practice skills in daily life. The range of formats also lets people pick how they feel most comfortable communicating while working toward clearer boundaries, better routines, and reduced anxiety.
