About Jessica

Dr. Jessica Schweigert helps with relationship strain, family conflicts, parenting challenges, self-esteem, and coping with life changes. She also addresses attachment issues, communication problems, divorce and separation, domestic violence, substance use concerns, fertility stress, guilt and shame, and social anxiety.

She is a licensed professional counselor and works from Wisconsin with nine years of experience. Sessions aim to feel practical and down-to-earth so parents can use what they learn right away.

Background and approach

Jessica uses a mix of talking about past patterns and building skills for today. She helps people notice what matters to them, clarify values, and take small steps toward change. She focuses on improving how family members communicate and on ways parents can manage stress while caring for children.

Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She listens, reflects what she hears, and offers tools that are simple to try between sessions. Parents get concrete strategies for handling conflict, setting boundaries, and managing emotions.

Jessica draws from psychodynamic ideas to look at where habits come from and from Acceptance and Commitment Therapy to build present-focused coping. Together these approaches help clients understand patterns and practice new responses. Sessions include empathy as well as direct skill-building.

Her background includes nine years of clinical work and a Wisconsin LPC credential. She offers sessions by video, phone, live chat, and text to fit busy family schedules. Start with a short matching questionnaire to find a time that fits your routine.

How evidence-based approaches translate to online family work

Psychodynamic work looks at patterns that formed in earlier relationships and how those patterns show up now. In online sessions this might mean talking through family roles, recurring conflicts, or reactions that keep repeating and noticing where they came from.

Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on noticing internal experiences and taking action that matches personal values. In remote sessions this looks like learning simple acceptance skills, clarifying what matters most in parenting or relationships, and practicing small behavior changes between calls.

Choosing the right approach is a team effort. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they adapt methods as needs change so the work stays practical and relevant.

Online therapy offers flexibility for busy family life. Video calls let people see each other and practice communication skills live. Phone, live chat, and text messaging give options for shorter check-ins or when schedules are tight. These formats make it easier to attend regularly and to apply new strategies in real time.
