Jessica Wiles, LISW - Therapist in Ohio

About Jessica

Jessica Wiles is a licensed independent social worker who focuses on family and parenting concerns. She aims to make therapy straightforward and practical for parents feeling overwhelmed by stress, anxiety, grief, or everyday parenting challenges. She writes plainly and listens first, helping people name what feels hardest and choose one small change to try next.

Her sessions tend to be respectful and down-to-earth. She starts by asking about immediate needs and household routines.

Background and approach

Then she works with clients to set clear, manageable goals and tracks progress over time. Jessica emphasizes strengths and practical steps rather than only talking about problems. Jessica uses approaches that fit each person’s situation.

She draws on cognitive behavioral techniques to spot unhelpful thoughts and habits. She also uses client-centered ways of listening so people feel heard while they make changes. Her background is in social work and she holds an LISW, which stands for Licensed Independent Social Worker.

She has three years of professional experience in Ohio and has supported people facing trauma, parenting stress, relationship strain, and grief. Jessica also has experience with adoption and foster care concerns, communication problems, and supporting people who are hearing impaired. She works with issues such as ADHD, panic attacks, and young adult challenges.

Her tone is practical and collaborative, helping people take steady steps toward better daily functioning.

How Jessica’s Methods Work Online

Jessica uses client-centered therapy to create an empathetic conversation where the person’s goals guide each session. This approach focuses on listening, reflecting, and helping clients make sense of what matters most to them.

She also uses cognitive behavioral therapy, which breaks down how thoughts, feelings, and actions interact. That method helps with anxiety, panic, low mood, and everyday parenting stresses by teaching concrete ways to change unhelpful patterns.

Finding the right mix of approaches is a team effort. Jessica will work with each person to choose methods that match their goals, preferences, and the practical demands of family life. She adjusts plans over time based on what is working and what needs to change.

Online formats make it easier to fit therapy into a busy family schedule. Video calls let parents have face-to-face conversations from home, while phone sessions, live chat, or text messaging offer shorter check-ins and flexible ways to keep work moving between appointments. These options support continuity of care and let people try different formats to see what helps most.

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.

Mindfulness Therapy

Attention training: noticing thoughts and physical feelings as they arrive without being carried off by them. Much of it is practice you do yourself, so guidance over video or audio works much as it would in person.
