About Jessica

Jessica Yetto is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) practicing in Pennsylvania with 25 years of clinical experience.

Background and approach

She earned her MA in Counseling in 2004 and has spent substantial recent time working in correctional settings, conducting intakes, evaluating suicide risk, providing crisis intervention, and coordinating care with medical staff and officers. Her background also includes roles in transitional housing, mobile therapy, behavioral specialist consultation, and supervising a family support program.

In her current work she frequently addresses severe mental health diagnoses as well as common issues such as anxiety and depression. She emphasizes practical, skills-based strategies to help people cope with pressing challenges and safety concerns.

Jessica commonly draws on solution-focused methods in that environment but also uses Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), and mindfulness-informed techniques when appropriate. Jessica is interested in expanding beyond the jail setting to offer broader outpatient services and work with a wider range of clients.

She collaborates with medical and psychiatric providers as needed and tailors interventions to immediate needs, safety considerations, and real-world coping. Her practice is conducted in English and she holds Pennsylvania license PA LPC PC006892.

Evidence-Based Approaches for Online Care

Jessica often integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy into her work. CBT focuses on identifying and changing unhelpful thinking and behavior patterns to reduce symptoms like anxiety, depression, and problematic coping habits. DBT emphasizes emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness skills, which can be helpful for strong mood swings, impulsivity, and overwhelming emotions.

Finding the most effective approach is collaborative; the therapist works with each person to explore goals, preferences, and the nature of current concerns and then adapts methods accordingly. That collaborative process allows techniques to be blended or shifted over time so the care remains aligned with the client's needs.

Online sessions are offered via video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to provide flexibility for different schedules and comfort levels. These formats make it easier to maintain regular work on coping skills, practice strategies between meetings, and access help when in-person visits are difficult, while allowing licensed professionals to deliver structured, goal-oriented therapy across distances.
