About Jessica
Jessica Braddock is a licensed clinical social worker in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people navigate relationship strain, trauma and abuse, depression, ADHD, and stress. She aims to learn how each person understands themselves and then offer practical tools that fit their life.
She uses straightforward talk and concrete strategies in sessions. Jessica asks questions to understand strengths and pain points, then works with clients to try small changes that can feel doable.
Background and approach
Sessions are paced to match what each person can manage in the moment. Her work blends skill-building with reflection. Clients might learn behavior-focused techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and emotion regulation skills that come from Dialectical Behavior Therapy.
She also draws on Acceptance and Commitment Therapy ideas to help people clarify values and take meaningful steps forward. Jessica pays attention to how past wounds shape present patterns. That can include attachment issues, grief, or the long effects of trauma.
She treats concerns around self-esteem, anger, and identity with practical steps and chances to practice new ways of relating. People who choose her often want a clear plan and down-to-earth tools. She supports those dealing with parenting stress, compassion fatigue, or life transitions.
Sessions are conversational yet focused on measurable changes clients can try between meetings.
How therapeutic approaches and online care fit together
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) asks people to name what matters most to them and take small steps toward those values. It helps when worry or habit keeps someone stuck and they want clearer direction. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches practical tools to change unhelpful patterns. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and ADHD-related challenges such as distracted thinking.Finding the right approach is a joint process. The therapist will talk with clients about goals and preferences, try strategies, and adjust plans if something does not fit. That collaborative stance helps make therapy feel relevant and doable for each person.
Online sessions can be scheduled as video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to suit different days and needs. Video lets people use face-to-face interaction when that helps, phone calls work well when internet or bandwidth are limited, live chat offers a shorter real-time check-in, and messaging supports ongoing reflection between meetings. These options aim to make it easier to attend sessions and to practice new skills in everyday life.
