About Jessica

Jessica Lee is a licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) based in Hawaii. She maintains seven years of clinical experience and focuses on helping people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, addiction, relationship concerns, trauma, grief, and mood conditions such as depression and bipolar disorder.

Jessica writes plainly and works in a practical way to help clients manage day-to-day challenges and painful changes. Her approach emphasizes collaboration. She listens first, then helps people identify strengths and small, doable steps.

Background and approach

Sessions tend to focus on clear coping tools, improving communication, and reducing behaviors that make problems worse. Jessica also addresses issues around intimacy, self-esteem, and family patterns when those come up. Jessica draws on a mix of evidence-based methods.

She uses client-centered work to keep sessions focused on each person’s priorities. She applies cognitive behavioral tools to shift unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills for emotional regulation and distress tolerance. Mindfulness and emotionally-focused ideas surface when the relationship or attachment wounds need attention.

Her work often covers family of origin problems, codependency, infidelity, separation and divorce, and substance use concerns. She also supports people dealing with abandonment, guilt, isolation, impulsivity, and control or commitment issues. Jessica accepts international clients and provides services in English.

Sessions are offered through video calls, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging. Costs vary by location and availability, and services are provided through a cancellable subscription model. To begin, users complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule a session based on the therapist’s availability.

Therapeutic approaches and online care

Jessica uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot and change unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. CBT is practical and often focuses on specific problems like anxiety, depression, or addictive patterns. She also uses dialectical behavior therapy to teach skills for managing strong emotions, reducing impulsive actions, and handling relationship stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. Jessica will listen to your goals and preferences, then recommend methods that make sense for your situation. The plan can change as needs shift, and she encourages clients to give feedback so the sessions stay useful and focused.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, which provide flexibility for busy schedules and people in different locations. These options let clients keep momentum between sessions and choose the format that fits their day. Licensed professionals adapt their tools for each format so therapy stays practical and goal-oriented.

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.
