About Jessica

Jessica Pino is a licensed clinical social worker who uses practical, evidence-based methods to help people facing strong emotions. She combines straightforward tools with a calm, steady presence. Jessica guides clients through problems like anxiety, depression, addiction, and stress in ways that feel doable day to day.

She brings 15 years of experience as an LCSW licensed in Florida. Jessica often uses approaches such as cognitive behavioral therapy to change unhelpful thinking, mindfulness to steady attention, and EMDR for processing traumatic memories.

Background and approach

She mixes strategies to match each person’s needs instead of using one fixed method. In sessions she focuses on clear skills and small changes that add up. She helps people manage mood swings, cope with life changes, and reduce overwhelm from caregiving or compassion fatigue.

Jessica also addresses issues tied to identity, culture, and migration when they come up in therapy. Her work covers a wide range of concerns including bipolar disorder, eating issues, substance use, anger, and obsessive thoughts or behaviors. She pays attention to how shame, guilt, and isolation affect everyday choices and relationships.

Jessica offers talking, skill practice, and guided exercises so clients can try new ways of responding outside of sessions. The goal is to make tools fit into real life and build steady habits that feel sustainable.

How Jessica’s Methods Work Online

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, or ACT, focuses on helping people notice what matters and take small actions toward those values. It uses simple exercises to reduce avoidance and build more meaningful routines. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at how thoughts, feelings, and actions connect and teaches practical steps to shift unhelpful patterns. It often includes short homework and skill practice to use between sessions. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, helps process upsetting memories by guiding attention while revisiting distressing moments; it can reduce emotional intensity tied to those memories.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with a person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they try methods in-session and adjust the plan so it fits the client’s life and pace.

Online therapy offers flexible ways to meet, including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging. These formats make it easier to fit therapy around work, caregiving, and travel. They also allow continuing care when going to an office is difficult, while still focusing on practical skills, check-ins, and exercises a person can use at home.

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.

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.
