Jessica Herz

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) practicing in Florida. She helps people who are struggling with stress, anxiety, depression, self-esteem, relationship strain, and the hard shifts life brings. Her work also covers addiction, grief, trauma and a range of other concerns. Jessica draws on about 10 years of experience to shape practical, reachable goals for each person. She listens first, then builds a plan that fits the person in front of her. Conversations focus on what feels most urgent and what skills will make daily life easier. Her approach mixes client-centered listening with Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy techniques. She also uses elements of Emotionally-Focused Therapy and mindfulness work when those tools match the client’s needs. Jessica adapts sessions so people can try new ways of managing thoughts, emotions, and behavior in real situations. Many clients come with worries about attachment, body image, codependency, parenting stress, or life transitions like divorce or career change. Jessica offers straightforward strategies for coping, plus space to make sense of painful experiences like grief, trauma, or addiction recovery. She aims to make the pace comfortable and the work doable. If someone is ready to start, Jessica supports small steps and steady progress toward clearer thinking, better routines, and stronger emotional balance.

How therapeutic approaches translate to remote work

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on respectful listening and building a trusting connection so the person can set priorities and feel heard; it helps when someone needs a steady, empathetic voice to sort out choices and feelings. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) teaches practical steps to change unhelpful thinking and routines, which can help with anxiety, depression, and sleep or eating challenges. Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) adds skills for emotion regulation, distress tolerance, and clearer communication, useful when emotions feel overwhelming or reactions are intense.

Finding the right approach is part of the work. The therapist will discuss options and collaborate with each client to choose methods that match their goals, needs, and comfort level. That way sessions stay focused on what will help most, and techniques can be adjusted over time.

Because the biography does not list specific online formats, confirm current session options before booking. Many people find online sessions easier to fit into a busy week, allow shorter check-ins when needed, or remove travel time so therapy can be consistent. Talk with the therapist about what will work best for scheduling, session length, and how to practice skills between meetings.
