About Jessica

Jessica Sorbello is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in New York with 11 years of professional experience. She helps people who are coping with stress, anxiety, addictions, grief, anger, self-esteem struggles, relationship and family concerns, and other life changes. Sessions are offered in English and aimed at adults handling everyday household strains and parenting pressures.

Jessica uses straightforward conversation to identify what is most pressing. She listens for patterns in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors, then works with each person to try new coping strategies. She often uses cognitive behavioral tools to challenge unhelpful thinking, and mindfulness skills to manage strong emotions.

Her approach also draws from dialectical behavior therapy and motivational interviewing to support change when people feel stuck. Those methods focus on building practical skills like distress tolerance, emotion regulation, and motivation for healthier choices. Sessions involve talking through recent events, practicing new responses, and setting small, achievable goals.

Jessica pays attention to how family history, attachment, and past losses affect daily life now. She helps people address issues such as abandonment, adoption and foster care concerns, body image, substance use, impulsivity, and communication problems. The work is paced to each person's needs, with an emphasis on usable tools for real life.

To begin, people complete a brief matching questionnaire and schedule a first session. Fees vary by location and use a subscription that can be canceled at any time.

How sessions work

How Jessica uses evidence-based approaches online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on listening and building a respectful working relationship. It helps people clarify goals and feel heard while they try new ways of coping. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, looks at the links between thoughts, feelings, and actions and teaches concrete strategies to change unhelpful patterns. That approach is often used for anxiety, depression, and stress.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. Jessica will discuss goals and preferences and help decide which methods to try first. That decision is collaborative and can shift as needs change over time.

Session formats are not listed in the biography, so confirm current options before booking. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy home schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and remove travel time. Licensed professionals and therapists can use focused skill practice, guided conversations, and planning exercises that transfer to daily life, helping people manage parenting demands, family tensions, and other household stresses.
