About Jessica
Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She focuses on common struggles such as anxiety, depression, self-esteem, stress, and relationship concerns. Jessica uses straightforward language and a calm presence to help people take the next step when life feels overwhelming.
Her sessions are practical and goal-oriented. She combines evidence-based tools with listening and empathy. Jessica draws on approaches like cognitive behavioral techniques and mindfulness to help clients notice unhelpful thinking and try new behaviors.
Background and approach
Jessica brings about 10 years of clinical experience to her work. That background includes supporting people with mood disorders, addiction, trauma and abuse, grief, and career or life transitions. She adapts plans to each person rather than offering one fixed path.
In sessions she focuses on skills that can be practiced between meetings. Those may include emotion regulation strategies, communication skills, and coping tools for stress and cravings. Jessica aims to create a respectful, nonjudgmental space where practical steps are paired with emotional support.
Her training and steady approach make her a clear choice for someone seeking hands-on strategies and thoughtful listening. Jessica encourages people ready to make changes to reach out and begin the matching process to set up sessions.
Approaches that translate well to online therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening and building a trusting connection. The therapist follows the client's lead, reflects what is said, and helps clarify goals. This approach helps when someone needs empathy and steady support for difficult emotions.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, teaches practical ways to notice and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress because it breaks problems into small, manageable steps and offers exercises to practice between sessions.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and improved interpersonal skills. It can help people who struggle with intense emotions or relationship conflicts by teaching concrete coping strategies.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss goals and preferences and then try methods that fit the client's needs. That collaborative process allows adjustments over time until a good fit is found.
Online therapy offers practical flexibility. Video calls let the therapist and client meet face to face when needed, while phone, live chat, and text-based messaging allow for shorter check-ins or work between sessions. These options make it easier to keep therapy consistent around busy schedules and life changes.
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.
Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)
Concrete skills for riding out strong emotion, tolerating distress, and handling relationships without things escalating. The skills are practised in daily life, so between-session support by message or phone fits naturally.
