About Jessica
Dr. Jessica Temple is a clinical rehabilitation neuropsychologist with 12 years of professional experience. She is licensed as a Pennsylvania Psychologist (PA Psychologist PS017722) and a Virginia Psychologist (VA Psychologist 0810007495) and practices in Virginia. Her work often focuses on stress, anxiety, sleep concerns, parenting strain, compassion fatigue, and attention challenges such as ADHD.
She helps people who are coping with chronic illness, traumatic brain injury, memory and concentration problems, and the daily friction these conditions can create. Sessions are conversational and practical. Jessica aims to build a calm, nonjudgmental space where thoughts and feelings can be shared honestly.
Her approach draws on methods that encourage present-moment awareness and flexible coping. She uses strategies from cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to help people change unhelpful patterns and manage worry and sleep problems. She also incorporates acceptance and commitment and dialectical behavior ideas when they fit a person’s goals.
In therapy she works with clients to set realistic steps. That may include simple behavioral tweaks for better sleep, routines to reduce stress, or skills for attention and memory support. Progress is tracked through small, practical goals rather than jargon-filled plans.
Jessica understands that starting therapy can feel hard. She invites people to begin with a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a session that fits their needs. Her style is direct, warm, and focused on usable tools for day-to-day life.
Approaches that support sleep, focus, and everyday coping
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy helps people notice thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them. It emphasizes values-based action so someone can move toward what matters even when sleep or anxiety make things harder. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy looks at how thoughts and daily habits affect mood and sleep. It uses step-by-step changes to routines and thinking patterns to reduce worry and improve rest.Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, symptoms, and preferences and then try methods that fit. That means decisions about which techniques to use are collaborative and can shift as needs change.

Online therapy can help fit sessions into a busy life by reducing travel time and making it easier to schedule short check-ins or longer sessions around work and family demands. It can also let people use tools learned in therapy right where they live, which can help with sleep routines, practicing mindfulness, and testing behavior changes in real-life settings.
