About Jessica
Jessica Otton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) in Florida with nine years of experience. She earned both her Bachelor and Master of Social Work from Florida Gulf Coast University and has spent much of her career in medical social work and hospice settings. Jessica has also worked in substance abuse rehabilitation and private practice settings.
She helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, life changes, and relationship struggles. Her background includes work with addiction, trauma and abuse, parenting concerns, anger, low self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. She has experience supporting people through aging, caregiver stress, chronic illness and end-of-life issues. Codependency is listed among her focus areas.
Jessica uses a strengths-based approach and draws on cognitive behavioral and solution-focused techniques. In practical terms that means she helps people identify patterns that aren’t working and try small experiments to change them. She also uses attachment-based ideas and mindfulness tools when they fit a person’s goals.
Her style centers on building a working relationship where people can say what they need to say. Sessions aim to clarify goals and try concrete steps toward them. Jessica describes the work as collaborative and goal-oriented.
Her prior roles include hospital and hospice social work, inpatient and home settings, and work with court-mandated and voluntary addiction clients. That mix informs her focus on practical coping, grief work, and support through major life transitions.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to virtual care
Attachment-based work looks at how people relate to others and to themselves. It helps when patterns from early relationships affect current boundaries or reactions. Cognitive behavioral therapy focuses on clear links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and uses practical experiments to test new responses. Solution-focused work narrows attention to small, achievable steps and immediate goals to build momentum.Finding the right mix of approaches is part of the work. The therapist will collaborate with the client to choose which tools to try based on the person’s needs, goals, and preferences. That conversation happens early and is revisited as progress is made.
The biography does not specify which online formats Jessica offers, so confirm current session options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy day, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and reduce travel time. They can also let people choose whether to be on camera or not, which sometimes helps with focus or comfort. Licensed professionals work with clients to pick an approach and session style that fits everyday life.
