About Jessica
Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people who are dealing with depression, anxiety, low self-esteem, relationship concerns, and sleep or eating struggles. She also supports those facing life changes, addiction, grief, career stress, and issues linked to attention or mood differences.
Her style is compassionate and straightforward. She treats people with respect and listens without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps that fit each person’s life and goals.
Jessica draws on several approaches to shape treatment. She commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to identify unhelpful thoughts and habits, Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotion regulation, and Client-Centered techniques to keep the conversation focused on the client’s priorities. Mindfulness and Emotionally-Focused ideas are added when they match the person’s needs.
In sessions she works with each person to build a clear plan. That plan may include coping skills for stress, strategies to improve sleep routines, or communication practice for relationship issues. Progress is tracked in small, achievable steps so change feels manageable.
She welcomes questions about how therapy might fit into a person’s life and encourages anyone ready to try a different path to start with a short matching questionnaire. The first meeting is used to set goals and decide on a practical plan moving forward.
How therapy approaches translate to online care
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and supporting the person as they set their own goals. In practice this means sessions start with what matters most to the client and the therapist follows their lead to build a plan. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at thoughts, behaviors, and routines that keep problems going and teaches practical strategies to change them; it can help with sleep, anxiety, and low mood. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, teaches emotion regulation and distress tolerance skills so people can manage intense feelings and reduce reactive behavior.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with each person about their needs, goals, and preferences and will suggest which methods to try. That choice is collaborative and can be adjusted as progress is made.
For practical session arrangements, please confirm the current options before booking because specific formats are not listed here. Online therapy can make it easier to fit meetings into a busy day, reduce travel time, and let someone check in during a short break. Some approaches lend themselves to simple homework between sessions, worksheets, and skills practice that can be done between meetings to extend progress into daily life.
