About Jessica

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, and relationship concerns. She also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, parenting strain, and codependency. Her tone is straightforward and respectful, aimed at people seeking change and practical support.

Her style mixes direct problem-solving with listening. Sessions focus on what matters most to the individual and on small steps that can ease daily life. Jessica adapts her approach so conversations and strategies match each person's needs and goals.

She draws from several therapy approaches to build a plan with the person in the room. Techniques may include changing unhelpful thinking patterns, learning skills to manage intense emotions, and exploring attachment patterns that affect relationships. Mindfulness exercises and emotion-focused work can be part of the process when they fit the goals.

Jessica has about ten years of clinical experience and brings practical tools and clear feedback. She values empathy, respect, and treating people as equals while helping them set realistic goals.

People who want to try therapy are invited to take a first step by answering a short questionnaire and scheduling a session. The work is collaborative and paced to the client’s comfort level.

Therapeutic approaches that translate online

Client-centered therapy emphasizes listening and building a collaborative relationship. The therapist follows the person's lead, reflects what they say, and helps them clarify goals, which can help with stress, self-esteem, and relationship patterns.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors. It offers practical strategies for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes by breaking problems into small, manageable steps.

Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills. It can help people who struggle with intense feelings, impulsive behaviors, or relationship conflicts.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with each person to decide which methods best match their goals and preferences, adjusting the plan over time as needs change.

Confirm current session options before booking so you know which formats are available. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce time spent traveling, and allow shorter check-ins when needed. It can also make it simpler to use mindfulness exercises, work on thought records between meetings, and practice new skills in everyday settings.
