About Jessica
Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with 10 years of clinical experience. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, relationship patterns, and codependency-related concerns. She also supports people facing addiction, grief, trauma, parenting strain, and life transitions.
Her style is straightforward and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and practical. She draws on cognitive-behavioral techniques to identify unhelpful thoughts and DBT skills to manage intense emotions. Mindfulness practices are used to increase present-moment awareness and reduce reactivity.
Jessica integrates emotionally focused ideas to look at how patterns of connection affect feelings and behaviors. She uses client-centered principles to keep the work grounded in each person’s experience. Together with the person in therapy she shapes goals and the pace of change.
Her background includes work across mood disorders, personality concerns, addiction, and trauma. That experience informs how she addresses co-occurring issues such as ADHD, compassion fatigue, and disruptive mood patterns. She pays attention to how abandonment, attachment, and control issues show up in relationships and daily life.
Practical tools come alongside discussion. Clients can expect homework that practices new skills outside sessions, emotion regulation strategies, and clearer communication techniques. Sessions aim to help people set boundaries, notice old patterns, and build more stable routines that support better sleep, eating, and stress management.
How sessions work
How Jessica’s approaches translate to online work
Jessica uses client-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), and dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) in her work. Client-centered therapy focuses on listening closely and responding to each person’s experience so goals come from the client rather than the clinician. CBT looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. DBT provides concrete skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness useful when emotions feel overwhelming.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica will talk about what is working and what is not, try strategies in session, and adjust methods based on the client’s needs and goals. The plan emerges from ongoing feedback and shared decisions about priorities.
The original biography did not list which online session formats are offered, so confirm the current options before booking. In general, online work can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy routine, shorten follow-up check-ins, and let people practice skills between sessions in their everyday setting. These practical benefits help keep momentum when addressing codependency patterns, anxiety, mood concerns, and relationship issues.
