Jessica Paliswiat, LMHC

Jessica Paliswiat is a New York LMHC with eight years of clinical experience. She works with adults facing stress, anxiety, depression, addiction, relationship and family concerns, grief, anger, self-esteem challenges, and life changes. She also addresses caregiver stress, chronic illness and pain, aging issues, and related concerns.

Her sessions are straightforward and practical. She listens to what is most pressing and helps people identify small, useful changes they can try between meetings. Therapy often includes clear tools for coping, skills for communication, and steps to manage strong feelings.

Jessica uses a mix of approaches rather than a single method. Expect techniques drawn from acceptance and commitment therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectical behavior therapy, motivational interviewing, and client-centered work. These methods are used to help with mood, worry, substance use, and decision points related to caregiving or health challenges.

She pays attention to how life circumstances and physical health interact with emotions. For people dealing with long-term illness, caregiver roles, or aging concerns, sessions focus on practical strategies and pacing. For those wrestling with guilt, shame, or isolation, the emphasis is on rebuilding connection to values and to manageable routines.

Jessica aims to work collaboratively. She helps clients set clear goals, tries different strategies, and revises plans based on what actually helps in daily life. To begin, clients complete an intake that highlights current concerns and priorities, then schedule an initial session to map next steps.
