About Zereana
Dr. Zereana Jess-Huff is a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist (LMFT) with 15 years of clinical experience based in Florida. She works with people facing stress, anxiety, relationship and family concerns, trauma and abuse, depression, addictions, grief, intimacy issues, parenting strain, anger, self-esteem problems, bipolar disorder, ADHD, and coping with life changes.
Jess-Huff favors an educational, skills-focused approach. Sessions emphasize behavioral activation - practicing concrete skills between meetings. People can expect clear plans, step-by-step goals, and homework that translates into everyday life.
Her work draws on a mix of established methods including attachment-focused ideas, client-centered listening, cognitive behavioral techniques, dialectical behavior tools, and emotionally-focused strategies. These are presented in straightforward language so clients can actually use them at home.
She has particular experience with abandonment and attachment issues, blended family challenges, codependency, communication and commitment problems, domestic violence, and disruptions tied to chronic illness or bereavement. Jess-Huff also works with process addictions such as shopping or gambling and with love addiction.
She lists an interest in women’s health and supporting members of the LGBTQIA community, including transgender people. International clients are accepted, and sessions are conducted in English.

How sessions work
How her approaches translate to online sessions
Attachment-Based Therapy focuses on how early and current relationships affect how people connect and respond to loved ones. It helps when someone wants to understand patterns of closeness, abandonment concerns, or insecure attachments and learn different ways to relate.Client-Centered Therapy emphasizes being heard and understood. It involves reflective listening and working at the client’s pace to build clearer goals and make choices that fit everyday life.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) targets unhelpful thinking and behavior. It combines small experiments, skill practice, and straightforward strategies to reduce anxiety, depression, and compulsive habits.
Choosing the right approach is a collaborative process. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and what feels most useful. Together they decide which methods to prioritize and adjust the plan as work progresses.
The biography does not list specific session formats, so confirm available options before booking. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy life - for example, shorter check-ins during a work break, avoiding travel time, or joining from a location with fewer interruptions. It can also allow steady skill practice between sessions and clearer continuity when life changes or travel make in-person visits difficult.
