About Jessica

Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) in Pennsylvania with 25 years of experience. She works with people managing stress, anxiety, addiction, mood disorders, trauma and relationship concerns. Her practice also addresses grief, eating and sleeping issues, parenting strain, ADHD, and codependency related patterns.

Jessica spent many recent years working inside a jail setting. There she completed intakes, evaluated suicide risk, provided crisis intervention, and offered short-term counseling when needed. That work also involved consulting with officers and collaborating with medical staff about medication and physical health concerns.

Before the jail position she worked in transitional housing and as a mobile therapist and behavioral specialist consultant. She has supervised a family support program. Those roles exposed her to people with significant mental health diagnoses and practical, everyday problems that need concrete strategies.

Her in-practice approach tends toward solution-focused work. In brief contacts she concentrates on coping skills that match the situation and the person’s current resources. She often integrates techniques from cognitive behavioral therapy and dialectical behavior therapy to help manage mood, anxiety, and impulsive reactions.

Jessica is interested in meeting people outside the correctional setting to offer longer-term work. She frames therapy as collaborative problem solving, helping clients build skills they can use between sessions. Sessions are conducted in English and are based in Pennsylvania.

How sessions work

Therapeutic approaches and remote care

Jessica often uses cognitive behavioral therapy to help people spot unhelpful thinking and try small behavioral experiments to change mood and anxiety. CBT is practical and focused on changing what you do and think to reduce distress.

She also uses dialectical behavior therapy skills to teach emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and better interpersonal responses. DBT skills can be useful when feelings escalate or when impulsive actions cause problems.

Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will review needs, goals, and preferences and then suggest which techniques to try. Decisions about methods are collaborative and can change as progress is made.

The biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Ask whether sessions are by video or phone and how scheduling works. Remote sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a workday, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or avoid travel time, which helps people keep up with regular appointments.
