About Jessica

Rev. Jessica Conti is a licensed mental health counselor practicing in Florida who blends evidence-based therapy with a holistic sensibility.

Background and approach

With 17 years in the mental health field, she commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) alongside acceptance and mindfulness-oriented methods to help clients address anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, and a wide range of life challenges.

Her background includes formal counseling licensure as an FL LMHC (MH11964) and complementary training in yoga and energy work, which inform a whole-person perspective on healing. Jessica uses client-centered and existential ideas to honor each person’s values and life story while also applying focused CBT strategies for patterns of thinking and behavior that cause distress.

Jessica’s practice addresses concerns such as stress, addictions, eating and body image issues, relationship and family problems, parenting and fatherhood challenges, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with major life changes or compassion fatigue.

She frames therapy as a collaborative process aimed at practical coping and deeper personal insight rather than quick fixes, and she matches therapeutic tools to each client’s goals and circumstances.

Therapeutic approaches and flexible online care

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) is a practical, skills-oriented approach that helps clients identify unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns and practice alternatives to reduce symptoms of anxiety, depression, and stress. Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) emphasizes clarifying personal values and learning to accept difficult thoughts and feelings while taking committed action toward meaningful goals. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental space where the therapist follows the client's lead and fosters self-directed growth and insight.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works with each person to explore which methods feel most useful for their concerns, goals, and preferences, and she adapts interventions over time so the plan reflects what is actually helping the client live in line with their values.

Online sessions are offered through video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to increase flexibility for busy schedules or geographic constraints. These formats make it easier to maintain continuity of care, try different therapeutic tools between meetings, and access support in a way that fits daily life while working with a licensed professional.
