About Jessica
Jessica Hanson is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) licensed in Wisconsin with ten years of clinical experience. She helps people manage stress, anxiety, grief and loss, depression, relationship and family concerns, and challenges related to caregiving and chronic illness. Jessica also supports people facing issues such as sleep struggles, parenting strain, ADHD, compassion fatigue, and identity concerns related to LGBT experiences.
Her style is straightforward and practical. Sessions focus on skills people can use between visits. Jessica combines problem-focused work with attention to attachment and values. She draws on methods from cognitive behavioral approaches, dialectical skills, acceptance-based work, and client-centered listening.
Jessica has a background supporting caregivers and people coping with dementia and mood-related conditions. That experience informs her work with aging and geriatric concerns, caregiver stress, chronic health problems, and cancer-related stress. She also works with family of origin issues, codependency, communication problems, and separation or divorce.
Grief and loss counseling is a clear part of her practice. She notes experience with pet loss and the particular emotions that come with long-term pet illness, end-of-life care, and surrender. Jessica aims to give practical tools for managing overwhelming feelings and making difficult decisions.
People who choose her work together to set concrete goals and learn skills for everyday life. She uses evidence-based techniques where they fit and keeps conversations centered on what is most helpful for daily functioning and relationships.
BHow sessions work
How her approaches shape online sessions
Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) focuses on clarifying values and taking small, meaningful steps toward them. It is useful for anxiety, depression, and coping with life changes. Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) looks at practical changes in thinking and behavior to reduce symptoms and improve daily routines. It is often used for sleep problems, mood issues, and stress management. Attachment-Based Therapy pays attention to patterns in close relationships and helps people understand how early connections affect current communication and trust.Finding the right mix of methods is treated as a collaborative process. Jessica will work with each person to see which approaches fit their needs, goals, and preferences. She adjusts techniques based on what helps most in everyday life and relationship functioning.
Confirm the available session formats before booking, as the profile does not specify them. Online work can make it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule, allow shorter check-ins when time is limited, and reduce the need to travel. The focus is on making therapy practical and usable between sessions so people can apply skills to work, family, health, and community demands.
