About Jessica
Jessica Odell is a licensed social worker based in Colorado. She holds LCSW and CSW credentials and has 12 years of clinical experience. Jessica focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, and depression. She aims to meet each person with respect, sensitivity, and compassion.
Jessica adapts conversations and care to fit what each person needs. She works collaboratively to build a plan that feels practical and doable. Sessions often include talking through current problems, learning coping skills, and reflecting on patterns that get in the way of change.
Her practice draws on several therapeutic approaches to match different concerns. Jessica uses client-centered methods to follow the person’s lead, cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and shift unhelpful thoughts and behaviors, and EMDR for processing trauma when appropriate. She also incorporates motivational interviewing and narrative therapy tools as needed.
People come to her for a wide range of issues, including relationship struggles, parenting stress, codependency, ADHD-related challenges, and feelings of isolation or emptiness. She works to create clear next steps so progress feels measurable rather than vague.
Jessica encourages small, steady changes and supports people through setbacks. She views therapy as a partnership and helps clients identify realistic goals. To begin, people are asked to complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule according to availability.
How Jessica’s Approaches Translate to Online Therapy
Client-centered therapy focuses on the person’s experience and values. The therapist follows the client’s lead, listens closely, and helps people decide what matters most. This approach suits issues where feeling heard and understood is the priority.Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors. It teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful thinking and build new habits, which is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing, EMDR, is a trauma-focused method that helps people process distressing memories and reduce their emotional intensity when the timing feels right.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to pick or combine methods based on goals, history, and what feels most comfortable. That means you can expect adjustments as therapy begins and progresses.
