About Jessica
Jessica Braddock is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Maine with nine years of clinical experience. She works with adults who are facing relationship strain, parenting stress, trauma, depression, anxiety, and related concerns. Jessica aims to offer practical tools and straightforward support rather than labels or promises.
She focuses on helping people identify strengths they already have and build skills where they feel stuck. Sessions are conversational and problem-focused. Jessica uses techniques that help with mood, stress, and coping after difficult events.
Her practice often addresses parenting pressures and family-related strains. She helps people talk through communication problems, grief, anger, and the wear of everyday obligations. Jessica also works with issues such as ADHD, bipolar mood concerns, social anxiety, and trauma responses.
Therapeutic tools she draws on include acceptance and commitment methods, cognitive behavioral techniques, and dialectical behavior strategies. She also integrates narrative and Jungian perspectives when they fit the client's concerns. Motivational interviewing appears in conversations that focus on change and next steps.
Jessica aims to collaborate on clear, doable steps between sessions. That can mean practicing new ways to respond to conflict, trying breathing or grounding habits, or changing small routines that affect mood. Her approach is practical and steady, aimed at everyday progress that fits a busy life.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) helps people notice painful thoughts and feelings without getting stuck in them, then focus on actions that match their values. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at how thoughts influence feelings and behavior, and teaches practical exercises to change unhelpful patterns. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) offers skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication in tense moments.Finding the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will discuss goals, try different techniques, and adjust methods based on what feels useful. Clients and the therapist decide together which strategies to keep and which to change as therapy progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy week, shorten travel time, and allow quick check-ins when needed. It can also let a person choose sessions that match practical needs, such as shorter meetings for focused skills practice or longer sessions for deeper conversations. Licensed professionals use these approaches to help people apply skills between sessions and handle everyday family and parenting strains.
