About Jessica
Jessica Leising is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in New York with five years of clinical experience. She works with people dealing with stress, anxiety, relationship problems, trauma and abuse, low self-esteem, and depression. Jessica also focuses on issues such as abandonment, attachment struggles, codependency, caregiver stress, and problems with communication and control.
Her style is straightforward and collaborative. She treats clients as the experts on their own lives and helps them use their strengths to manage difficult situations. Sessions focus on practical steps you can try between meetings as well as thinking through patterns that keep causing pain.
Jessica talks through relationship dynamics and communication habits that leave people feeling drained or unheard. She supports people living around other people’s drinking, moods, or crises, and those who notice they often put others first. Work may include clarifying boundaries, naming repeated reactions, and building small, doable changes.
She also addresses trauma and abuse with care, helping clients slow down and make sense of overwhelming memories or feelings. For depression and anxiety she helps people notice what keeps symptoms going and find concrete ways to respond differently.
To begin, Jessica asks clients to complete a short matching questionnaire and schedule an initial session. She uses a subscription model for sessions that can be canceled at any time, and fees vary with location. Sessions are offered in English and she is based in New York.
How sessions work
Therapeutic approaches translated for online work
Evidence-based techniques often used to address relationship patterns and mood include focused, problem-oriented work that helps identify repeating behaviors and build alternatives. This approach breaks larger problems into smaller goals you can practice between sessions and is useful for anxiety, depression, and people-pleasing habits.Trauma-informed methods emphasize pacing and grounding. They help people make sense of upsetting memories or reactions without pushing too fast. This approach can be helpful when trauma or abuse has shaped how someone copes in relationships or with strong emotions.
Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about what feels most useful, try one method, and adjust based on how the client responds. Goals, preferences, and daily demands guide those choices rather than a one-size-fits-all plan.

Online sessions can also make it simpler to keep consistent appointments while balancing work or family responsibilities.
