About Jessica

Jessica Agostini is a licensed clinical social worker practicing in North Carolina who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma and abuse, parenting challenges, anger, and self-esteem concerns.

Background and approach

With six years of professional experience, she brings a trauma-informed perspective to work with current and past impacts of traumatic experiences, and also attends to related issues such as abandonment, attachment concerns, caregiver stress, and post-traumatic stress. She offers EMDR as one therapeutic option alongside other evidence-informed methods.

Her approach centers on respect, sensitivity, and compassion while tailoring treatment to each person’s needs. Jessica integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and other modalities like Attachment-Based Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and EMDR to address thinking patterns, emotional regulation, relationship dynamics, and trauma processing.

She emphasizes collaboration and individualization so clients can pursue clearer goals and practical tools. Jessica frames the first step toward change as a courageous move and commits to supporting people through that process.

Her practice blends structured techniques and empathetic listening to help clients find more adaptive ways of coping, communicating, and relating to themselves and others.

Therapeutic approaches and online care that adapt to your needs

Jessica combines Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Attachment-Based Therapy as common frameworks in her work. CBT focuses on identifying and modifying unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors to reduce anxiety and improve coping, which can be useful for stress, social anxiety, and self-esteem concerns. Attachment-Based Therapy attends to relationship patterns and early attachment wounds, helping people understand how connections with others influence emotion regulation and communication.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. Jessica aims to explore each clients goals, symptoms, and preferences before recommending techniques, and she adapts the plan over time as needs change so clients can help shape the direction of care.

Online therapy with Jessica is offered through a mix of video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to increase flexibility. These options make it easier to fit sessions into busy schedules, maintain continuity when travel or life events intervene, and choose a format that feels most comfortable for discussing sensitive topics.
