About Jessica
Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people handle stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and ADHD-related challenges. She draws on a decade of clinical experience to support people facing addiction, grief, self-esteem struggles, and major life changes. Her tone is respectful and straightforward, focused on practical steps rather than jargon.
Her sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She uses a mix of approaches to match each person’s needs, drawing on cognitive-behavioral techniques, dialectical skills, and client-centered conversation to reduce symptoms and improve coping.
Background and approach
She emphasizes clear tools and small, steady changes that can be used between meetings. Jessica tailors each plan to the person in front of her. That means talking about immediate concerns, building routines that fit daily life, and practicing new skills in session.
She also addresses relationship and intimacy issues and supports people managing career stress, parenting strain, or caregiver fatigue. Her background includes ten years of clinical work with mood disorders, substance use concerns, personality-related issues, and trauma. She lists experience helping people who struggle with eating or sleeping, anger, and attachment-related worries.
She brings empathy and practical problem-solving to sessions. Jessica offers multiple ways to connect and will work with a person to find what fits their schedule and goals. She frames therapy as a collaborative process and encourages small steps toward more manageable days.
Therapeutic approaches that translate to online care
Client-centered therapy focuses on listening, empathy, and following the person's agenda to help them feel heard and understood. It helps when someone needs space to sort out feelings, make choices, or rebuild confidence.Cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT) looks at the link between thoughts, feelings, and behaviors and teaches practical strategies to change unhelpful patterns. It can be useful for anxiety, depression, ADHD-related planning and organization, and sleep or eating concerns.
Dialectical behavior therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication. Those skills are often helpful for intense emotions, anger, relationship stress, and co-occurring mood concerns.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to decide which strategies to use and adjust them over time based on goals and what feels helpful. Treatment plans are built together so techniques match daily life and priorities.
Online therapy provides flexibility in how to meet. Video calls allow face-to-face conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions suit people with limited bandwidth or who prefer not to use video. Live chat and text-based messaging can be used for brief check-ins, skill reminders, or ongoing support between longer sessions. These options make it easier to fit therapy into work, parenting, and busy schedules while still working with licensed professionals.
