About Jessica

Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania. She has 25 years of experience and often uses practical, solution-focused strategies to address immediate concerns. She emphasizes clear coping skills and concrete steps parents can try between sessions.

Her background includes work in high-intensity settings that shaped a direct, skills-based style. Over many years Jessica has helped people dealing with anxiety, depression, stress, addiction, bipolar disorder, trauma, grief, and sleep or eating difficulties.

Background and approach

She also has experience addressing attention challenges, anger, and a wide range of personality and mood concerns. Her work includes crisis intervention and suicide risk evaluation from years working inside a county jail environment. That jail experience led her to focus on brief, effective interventions that fit tight schedules and stressful situations.

She regularly coordinated with medical providers to address medication and related health matters. Earlier roles included transitional housing services, mobile therapy, behavioral specialist consultation, and supervision of a family support program. In sessions Jessica typically teaches coping techniques and problem-solving steps drawn from evidence-based approaches.

She favors methods that people can practice at home and use right away. Parents often find her practical guidance helpful for everyday challenges. Jessica earned a Master of Arts in Counseling in 2004 and holds the Pennsylvania LPC license PA LPC PC006892.

She is available for English-language sessions and offers several remote formats to fit different routines.

How Jessica’s Approaches Work Online

Jessica frequently draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy when working with clients online. CBT focuses on identifying unhelpful thoughts and testing small changes in thinking and behavior to reduce anxiety, depression, and stress. DBT teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help when strong emotions or impulsivity get in the way.

She also uses Mindfulness Therapy tools to help people notice thoughts and bodily reactions without getting swept away. These practices can support better sleep, lower anxiety, and clearer decision making. In sessions she demonstrates techniques and suggests brief exercises to practice between meetings.

Finding the right method is a collaborative process. She will discuss goals, try different tools, and adapt strategies to what fits each person’s life and needs. The therapist and client decide together which approaches feel most helpful and sustainable.

Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, to return to techniques between meetings, and to get support when in different places. The variety of formats lets people choose what works best for their routine and comfort.

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.

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.
