Jessica Peres is a licensed professional counselor (LPC) in New Jersey with nine years of clinical experience. She focuses on helping people who feel stuck by offering clear, steady support and practical steps forward.

Background and approach
She supports those dealing with attachment and abandonment wounds, codependency, and communication or control problems. In sessions she uses approaches that fit the person rather than a rigid method. That can mean looking at how past relationships shaped current patterns, practicing coping skills for overwhelming emotions, or slowing down to notice thoughts and body signals.
She explains tools clearly and practices them together with clients so they feel usable outside of sessions. Jessica offers therapy in English and Portuguese. She provides a calm, nonjudgmental space and focuses on small, concrete changes that add up over time.
Her style balances empathy with practical guidance so goals feel realistic and achievable.

She helps people build more reliable ways of managing emotions, connecting with others, and moving toward goals they care about.

04Online support
How her approaches translate to online care
Attachment-Based Therapy looks at how past relationships shape present reactions and connection patterns, helping people understand clinginess, avoidance, or trust issues and learn new ways to relate. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, focuses on changing unhelpful thoughts and behaviors through clear exercises and practice tasks, which can reduce anxiety and lift mood. Mindfulness Therapy teaches simple attention and breathing practices to lower reactivity and improve emotional awareness, useful for stress and cravings.Deciding which approach to use is part of the work. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, daily struggles, and what feels comfortable. Together they try methods and adjust the plan based on what helps most, keeping the process collaborative and flexible.
Online therapy here uses video calls, phone sessions, live chat, and text-based messaging to make regular care easier to fit into life. Video is good for face-to-face conversation and skill practice, phone works when bandwidth is limited, live chat offers a faster check-in, and messaging supports brief updates or reflection between sessions. These options help people stay consistent with therapy while juggling work, caregivers, or busy schedules.
