01About Jessica
Jessica Hervatin uses a client-focused approach to help people who are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or weighed down by life events. She is a Licensed Professional Counselor and brings decades of experience to conversations about stress, anxiety, mood issues, grief, and addiction. Her style is direct and compassionate, aimed at making sessions practical and understandable for everyday life.
She draws on client-centered methods to keep the person’s goals front and center.
Background and approach
Jessica also uses cognitive behavioral techniques to spot and change unhelpful thinking patterns. When emotions feel intense or hard to manage, she brings in skills from dialectical behavior therapy to teach grounding and emotional regulation tools. Across a long career Jessica has worked in hospitals, employee assistance programs, crisis settings, and addiction counseling.
That variety shaped her ability to adapt to different concerns and to support people through sudden crises and long-term issues. She has helped people cope with trauma, grief, relationship strain, loneliness, and identity-related questions. Sessions aim to be practical.
Conversations include exploring patterns, testing new behaviors, and building concrete coping skills. Jessica encourages small, achievable steps so progress feels real and manageable. Her practice includes video, phone, live chat, and text-based messaging options.
Jessica accepts international clients and works with people across a wide range of life challenges, meeting them where they are and focusing on the goals they choose.

04Online support
How therapeutic methods translate to online sessions
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening closely and following the person’s priorities. In an online session this means the therapist centers your goals and reflects what matters most to you, helping you feel heard and understood. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and tests small behavior changes. Online CBT sessions use conversations and simple exercises to spot unhelpful thinking and try new responses. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) teaches emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills. Delivered remotely, DBT-style skills can be practiced between sessions and reviewed together during calls.Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will collaborate with each person to choose or combine methods that match their needs, goals, and preferences. That collaborative process includes checking in and adjusting methods when something isn’t working.
Online formats include video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging. Video is useful for in-depth conversation and skills practice. Phone sessions work well when bandwidth is limited or a simpler check-in is needed. Live chat and text messaging let people share updates between sessions and get brief support when a quick touch-in helps. These options make scheduling easier and let therapy fit into busy lives.
