About Jessica

Jessica Herz is a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) based in Florida who helps people facing stress, anxiety, depression, relationship strain, and career concerns. She also supports clients dealing with self-esteem problems, grief, addiction, trauma, and sleep or eating difficulties. Jessica writes plainly and aims to make the first steps feel manageable for people who are unsure where to begin.

Her style is respectful and down-to-earth. She treats people with empathy and listens without judgment. Sessions focus on practical steps and on understanding what matters most to each person.

Jessica blends several approaches to fit each client's needs. She uses client-centered work to build a trusting connection, cognitive behavioral strategies to spot and change unhelpful thinking and habits, and elements of dialectical behavior therapy to improve emotion regulation. Mindfulness techniques and emotionally-focused ideas also appear when they fit the goals at hand.

Over a ten-year career she has worked with a broad range of mental health concerns, including mood disorders, personality-related struggles, addiction, and the stresses that come with life transitions. She adapts plans to match individual goals rather than applying a single method to everyone.

If you are looking to address relationship issues, manage anxiety, change coping patterns, or tackle career-related stress, Jessica aims to support and empower you through steady, collaborative work.

How Jessica Uses Therapy Approaches Online

Client-Centered Therapy focuses on building a respectful, nonjudgmental relationship and helps people feel heard and understood. This approach supports work on self-esteem, relationship concerns, and big life decisions. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, or CBT, helps people spot unhelpful thoughts and change behaviors that keep problems going; it is commonly used for anxiety, depression, and stress management. Dialectical Behavior Therapy, DBT, offers skills for handling intense emotions and improving coping, which can help with anger, mood swings, and self-regulation.

Choosing the right approach is part of the work together. The therapist will talk with the client about goals, preferences, and the problems they want to change, then suggest methods to try. Decisions about techniques are collaborative and can change as progress is tracked.

Confirm the current session options before booking so you know which formats are offered. Online sessions can make it easier to fit therapy into a busy schedule, shorten travel time, and allow for brief check-ins when a full in-person visit would be difficult. They also let people join from different locations in Florida without needing to commute. If you value flexibility, mention that when you complete the matching questionnaire so scheduling can reflect your needs.
