Jessica Otton, LCSW

Jessica Otton is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Florida with nine years of clinical experience. She trained at Florida Gulf Coast University and has spent much of her career in medical social work and hospice settings. Her work has also included substance abuse rehabilitation and private practice.

Jessica helps people facing stress, anxiety, grief, depression, relationship strain, parenting challenges, and life changes. She also addresses addiction-related concerns, anger, self-esteem, bipolar disorder, and compassion fatigue. Additional focus areas include aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, co-morbidity, codependency, and end-of-life counseling.

Her background includes eight years working in hospice across inpatient, home, and nursing home settings. She has experience with court-mandated and voluntary clients in substance use treatment. That mix of hospital, hospice, and rehab work shapes how she approaches practical problems and emotional strain.

In sessions she uses a strengths-focused stance with clear, goal-oriented tools. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) techniques and solution-focused methods are part of her routine. Mindfulness and attachment-informed ideas also influence how she helps people manage feelings and relationships.

Jessica aims to build a trusting professional relationship where clients can speak plainly about what matters. She works collaboratively to set steps toward concrete goals. The emphasis is on simple, usable strategies to manage day-to-day stressors and longer-term challenges.
