Jessica Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who focuses on building self worth and coping skills. She helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship and family strains, and challenges like ADHD and compassion fatigue. Her style is straightforward and strength-based, with an emphasis on practical tools and steady support.
She has more than 10 years of experience working with individuals and caregivers, including people dealing with dementia and mood-related concerns. Her background includes grief and loss work, and she also addresses the particular pain of pet loss and pet-related end of life decisions. Clients can expect a calm, respectful space to name what feels hard and learn ways to manage it.
Jessica uses a mix of approaches to fit each person’s needs. She draws on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to look at thoughts and behaviors, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) to clarify values and take meaningful action, and attachment-based ideas to strengthen close relationships. She also uses client-centered listening to keep sessions focused on what matters to the person in front of her.
Her practice aims to give clear strategies alongside emotional support. That can mean learning new coping skills, practicing mindfulness, or creating plans for caregiving and life transitions. Sessions emphasize skills you can use between meetings.
Jessica practices in Wisconsin and provides care in English. The first step is a brief matching process and scheduling to find a time that works.
How Jessica’s Approaches Fit into Online Therapy
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people name their values and take small steps toward them while tolerating hard feelings. It can be useful for low self esteem, anxiety, and life transitions because it focuses on meaningful action rather than perfect change. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete skills to change unhelpful patterns; this is often used for anxiety, depression, sleep problems, and coping with stress.
Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica treats therapy as a collaborative process and will help figure out which methods fit a person’s goals, needs, and comfort level. That means trying tools, checking what helps, and adjusting plans together over time.
Practical benefits of online therapy include easier scheduling and fitting sessions into a busy week. Online work can reduce travel time and make brief check-ins or follow-ups more manageable. The biography does not specify session formats, so confirm current session options before booking to know what is offered. Many people find that the flexibility of remote sessions makes it simpler to practice new skills between appointments and keep momentum in therapy.
