About Jessica

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida who helps people navigate stress, anxiety, depression, relationship struggles, self-esteem concerns, and addiction-related issues.

Background and approach

With a decade of clinical experience, she has worked with a broad range of presenting problems including trauma and abuse, grief, mood and personality disorders, ADHD, and life transitions. Jessica aims to tailor care to each person’s circumstances rather than apply a one-size-fits-all plan.

Her style blends practical, evidence-informed methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) with client-centered and mindfulness-based strategies, and she also draws on dialectical behavior approaches when emotion regulation and coping skills are needed. Jessica emphasizes respect, empathy, and collaboration, shaping conversations and treatment goals around what matters most to the client.

She offers services through multiple online formats to fit different schedules and preferences. Those interested in starting therapy are invited to begin the matching process and schedule according to the therapist’s availability.

Jessica presents a steady, supportive presence for people seeking to build healthier patterns, manage symptoms, and move forward after difficult changes.

How therapeutic approaches translate to online care

Jessica commonly uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) in ways that work well online. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through practical exercises and skill building, which adapts easily to video or text-based work. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness and often includes skills training and coaching that can be practiced between sessions.

Finding the right approach is treated as a collaborative process. The therapist will work with clients to explore goals, preferences, and responses to different techniques, adjusting methods as needed to ensure the plan fits each person’s needs and situation.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, or text-based messaging to provide flexibility for varied schedules and comfort levels. These options make it easier to attend regular sessions, practice skills in daily life, and maintain continuity when in-person meetings are not practical.
