About Jessica
Jessica Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with ten years of experience. She focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep and rest issues, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family concerns, and caregiving strain. Jessica offers straightforward support for people facing life changes and health-related challenges.
Her approach is practical and person-centered. She listens first, then helps people identify steps they can try between sessions. She uses methods drawn from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Attachment-Based Therapy, and client-centered work. Sessions often include skill practice, problem-solving, and ways to manage difficult thoughts and emotions.
Jessica has a background supporting people caring for loved ones with dementia and those managing mood-related concerns. She brings experience working with complex grief, including loss related to chronic illness and pet loss. That background shapes how she talks through end-of-life decisions and the feelings that follow.
She aims to help people regain routines that support better sleep and daily functioning. Practical strategies and gradual changes are emphasized rather than quick fixes. Jessica also addresses issues like codependency, communication problems, chronic illness, and caregiver burnout.
If someone wants to start, she asks for a short intake to match needs and then schedules sessions that fit the person’s life. Her work is based in Wisconsin and sessions are conducted in English.
How online work can use different therapy approaches
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) uses simple exercises to help people notice thoughts and choose actions that match their values. It can be helpful for anxiety, stress, and adjusting to life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) focuses on identifying unhelpful thinking patterns and testing new behaviors to improve mood and sleep. It often includes homework like sleep routines or thought records. Attachment-Based Therapy looks at relationship patterns and how early connections shape current reactions; it can be useful when relationship or family dynamics affect rest and emotional safety.Finding the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the person about goals, preferences, and what has or hasn’t helped before. Together they will try methods that fit the client’s needs and adjust them over time based on what works in real life.
The original biography does not list specific online session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online therapy can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, reduce travel time, allow shorter check-ins when needed, and let people practice tools in the settings where they live and sleep. Licensed professionals can guide setting small, realistic steps for improving sleep, managing caregiver stress, and handling grief while working within each person’s daily routine.
