About Jessica

Jessica Hartmann is a licensed clinical social worker (LICSW) practicing in Massachusetts who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, trauma, grief, depression, and the many transitions life brings.

Background and approach

She brings eight years of clinical experience and a range of settings to her work, including hospitals, primary care, schools, legal environments, and community agencies. Jessica emphasizes a client-centered stance and aims to tailor practical coping strategies and behavior-change tools to each person’s needs.

Graduating from Simmons School of Social Work in 2017, she earned her Massachusetts LICSW in 2020 and integrates several evidence-informed traditions into her practice, such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-focused approaches, psychodynamic perspective, and trauma-focused care.

Jessica also brings personal life experience to her therapeutic relationships, and she seeks to empower clients to define and pursue a more satisfying life. Her areas of focus include relationship and family concerns, parenting and adoption-related issues, women's health topics, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, ADHD, and other mental health challenges.

She works in English and provides multiple remote session formats to accommodate different schedules and preferences.

Therapeutic Approaches and Online Care

Jessica commonly draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help clients identify unhelpful thinking patterns and develop practical skills for managing anxiety, depression, panic, and stress-related problems. She also uses Attachment-Based Therapy to explore relational patterns and how early bonds influence current relationships and emotional responses, which can be helpful for attachment issues, family problems, and parenting concerns.

Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. Jessica works together with clients to assess needs, goals, and preferences, and she tailors techniques from different approaches when that combination best supports progress. Clients can expect an adaptive plan that evolves as therapy proceeds rather than a one-size-fits-all protocol.

Online therapy is offered through multiple formats including video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging, allowing flexibility for busy schedules, mobility limits, or geographic constraints. These options make it possible to maintain continuity of care and access support from home or other convenient locations while working with a licensed professional who integrates CBT, attachment-focused work, and client-centered methods into remote sessions.
