About Jessica

Jessica Hervatin is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with a long-standing commitment to helping people manage stress, mood concerns, addictions, and trauma. She draws on client-centered principles and evidence-based tools such as cognitive behavioral techniques and dialectical strategies to tailor care to each person’s needs.

Background and approach

With 37 years of clinical work, she has supported clients through depression, grief and loss, relationship and intimacy-related issues, and a broad range of personality and substance-related concerns.

Her background includes roles in employee assistance, psychiatric care, substance use counseling, crisis response, and work with incarcerated individuals, and she currently practices as a mental health therapist within a hospital setting. Jessica emphasizes an approachable, compassionate style and aims to meet clients where they are while collaborating on concrete steps toward the goals they choose.

She also brings experience teaching at the university level, which informs her practical, skills-focused approach to therapy. Clients seeking support for anxiety, PTSD, addictive behaviors, identity and LGBT questions, or life transitions will find a clinician who combines practical interventions with empathic listening.

Jessica accepts international clients and offers multiple online session formats to increase accessibility across locations.

Approach-oriented Online Care with Practical Tools

Jessica integrates cognitive behavioral techniques and client-centered principles into online work. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) helps identify and shift unhelpful patterns of thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms like anxiety, low mood, and maladaptive coping, and it often includes specific exercises and skill-building. Client-Centered Therapy focuses on creating a respectful, nonjudgmental space where the therapist listens closely and follows the client's priorities, supporting self-exploration and personal goals.

Choosing the right therapeutic method is part of the collaborative process. She partners with each client to determine which combination of approaches best fits their needs, goals, and preferences, adjusting strategies as progress is made and circumstances change.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide greater flexibility for schedules and geographic distance. These formats make it possible to continue consistent work during life transitions, travel, or when in-person visits are impractical, while still focusing on practical skills, emotional processing, and goal-oriented progress.
