About Jessica
Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Florida with ten years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem struggles, relationship difficulties, parenting strain, and related concerns. Jessica also supports people dealing with addiction, grief, trauma and other life changes.
Her style is practical and person-focused. Sessions are conversational and goal-oriented. She draws on approaches such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Emotionally-Focused Therapy (EFT), Client-Centered Therapy, and mindfulness techniques to help people identify patterns and try new ways of coping.
Jessica has worked across a broad range of problems including mood and personality disorders, substance use issues, blended family concerns, attachment and abandonment issues, and career stress. She also addresses areas like body image, caregiver stress, codependency, and intimacy-related worries. Her ten years of practice means she has seen many combinations of these concerns and helps people sort priorities one step at a time.
In sessions she focuses on clear steps people can try between appointments. That might mean testing small behavior changes, practicing emotion regulation skills from DBT, or using CBT strategies to shift unhelpful thinking. She also uses emotionally-focused ideas to look at how patterns of relating affect connection and conflict.
People who choose her often want practical strategies alongside time to talk through their history. To begin they complete a short matching questionnaire and then schedule a first session where goals and next steps are discussed.
How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online work
Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and following the person’s concerns. It helps people feel heard while they name goals and try new ways of relating. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) breaks problems into thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete techniques to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is useful for anxiety, depression, and stress. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) provides practical emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal skills that help with strong emotions and relationship conflicts.Choosing the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss different methods and together decide which fits your needs, goals, and preferences. That way sessions focus on what you want to change and which tools suit your situation.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm current online options before booking. Many people find online sessions help fit therapy into a busy week, shorten travel time, or allow shorter check-ins during a workday. Online work can make it easier to try skills between meetings and to keep continuity when life gets interrupted. A first session is used to set goals and agree on a practical plan for future online meetings.
