About Jessica
Jessica Criner is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) based in California who focuses on helping people manage stress, anxiety, relationship strain, and issues tied to trauma. She centers work on personal strengths and practical steps clients can use to feel more grounded and confident. Jessica emphasizes that emotional healing is possible and that seeking help is a courageous first step.
Her approach combines evidence-based methods with attention to attachment and relational patterns. She uses Acceptance and Commitment Therapy and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients notice unhelpful thoughts and choose values-driven actions. She also draws on Dialectical Behavior Therapy skills for emotional regulation and Attachment-Based Therapy to address patterns rooted in early relationships.
Jessica has seven years of clinical experience supporting people who face family conflict, abandonment fears, codependency, and issues around commitment and infidelity. She also works with concerns such as guilt and shame, multicultural and immigration-related stress, postpartum depression, and the effects of domestic violence and hospice-related grief.
Sessions often explore how past wounds shape current reactions, including racial and religious trauma and the impact of foster care or transracial adoption. Jessica aims to help people uncover the heart of their struggles, build coping skills, and strengthen their sense of self and self esteem.
Clients first complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule sessions according to the therapist's availability. The practice uses a subscription model that can be canceled at any time. For specifics about session options, confirm current formats before booking.
